Now? The content comes to us through digital devices anywhere and at any time. The question for today is this: What have we done recently to save our users' time? Read this post from Next, the OCLC blog, to learn how technology has turned learning outside in. And if you are heading to PLA in early April, don't miss Lynn's talk on how we can design library services that attract potential users and build lasting relationships. <http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dcce82793cfda97849b36af29abe995705bfb2058cdba93 2a3fd9f6c66fef108> Read the blog post <http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dcce82793cfda97814fbcc407f02796ffb17557533cbed5 2cda0132108a9f977> More than 31 million US Internet users will go online only via a mobile device in 2016 <http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dcce82793cfda97814fbcc407f02796ffb17557533cbed5 2cda0132108a9f977> Today, more and more people in the US are relying on their mobile devices for digital access.

Why? Because linked data can be easily understood by computers, resulting in opportunities for improved library workflows, enhanced user experiences and discovery of library collections through a variety of popular sites and Web services, including Google, Wikipedia and social networks. Before briefly explaining the nuts and bolts of linked data, it is important to point out that for most libraries and librarians, the sea change from records full of text strings to fully linked data elements will occur largely under your radar. <http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dcce82793cfda978ef847d8e2f1412a31bd8e2a5ee0414b 196ef038a8665d6b0> Read this post Featured Event: ER&L 3-6 April 2016 <http://click.e.oclc.org/?qs=dcce82793cfda9787799f1ac5157fadd6d40b75cbebba5a 12c4f9ef7bd57c5e8> The Electronic Resources & Libraries Conference (ER&L) is three weeks away.
