Transforming Library Services: Models for Implementing Emerging Technologies
Over the last several years, Georgia State University Library has undergone dramatic physical and virtual transformations to better meet the needs of our diverse and changing student population. We have implemented new research guides, search and discovery tools, social media outreach, online reference, and mobile services, to name a few. In this session, we will share best practices and tips for strategic planning, division of labor, creating buy-in, assessment, and ongoing management of these technologies and others.

Weaving the Fabric of Transliteracy Through Embedded Librarianship
How can today's students negotiate an ever-changing information landscape? Learn how librarians can help students take an inquiry stance on information literacy by constructing their own personalized and portable learning environments with web-based and mobile applications. This session will explore how students can craft a learning toolbox of applications for accessing, evaluating, organizing, and sharing information as well as engaging in collaborative knowledge construction.

The Library in the Mobile Ecosystem: Trend, Transition, or Transformation?
In a technology driven age of information, is the role of libraries simply being challenged, or is it the beginning of the end of the library as an institution? From either point of view, it is clear that libraries and the physical printed word are facing fiscal challenges, revolutionary technological change, and significant cultural transitions. Can libraries co-exist with Google or have we already been replaced? Are there things that a library can do to become a vibrant player in the emerging information culture that demands connectivity everywhere, for everything, and all the time?
