Theme
Beyond 20/20: Envisioning the Future
A common challenge for any organization and its staff is accomplishing what needs to get done today while finding time to plan for tomorrow. Often our plans for the future are hampered by blurred vision, momentary blindness, or an inability to look forward.
At the 2007 BCLA Annual Conference, we invite you to join your colleagues in pursuit of vision beyond 20/20. Take time out from the everyday to envision the changing roles of libraries over the next 15-20 years. Catch a glimpse of upcoming trends and potential paradigm shifts. Focus on opportunities and strategic priorities. Hear and share stories of success and innovation. View the future of libraries through new lenses so that a clearer, brighter vision of 2020 can emerge for you, your library, and your library users.
We are pleased to announce that Steven Berlin Johnson, social critic, technologist, and author of Everything Bad is Good For You, Emergence, and The Interface Culture, will deliver this year’s Keynote Address.
