I cheered for the Scan at Gaming Symposium and immediately ordered a copy of OCLC’s Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources yesterday. Karen’s posted about it already. I went right to buying a hard copy so not only can I I can read it in bed but it can take it’s place next to the Scan on my Librarian’s bookshelves. UPDATE: The Librarian in Black blogs “Perceptions” as well!

Equity of Access- The digital divide Info/Tech literacy […]
What’s on my bedside table you ask? (well…maybe you didn’t but I’ll tell you anyway!) A few weeks of Entertainment Weekly: Gotta stay in tune with pop culture, yes? 2003 OCLC Enviromental Scan: Pattern Recognition: I can’t say enough about this one. This report to the OCLC membership includes a look at the social, technology, economic and library landscape as well as future trends for libraries, a focus on content, and much much more.
