Thursday, March 2, 7 p.m.
Helen Shenton, Librarian and College Archivist of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, presents “The Library of the Future; the Future of the Library.” Shenton explores the seismic social and technological shifts underway in education, research, teaching, and learning that are transforming libraries. Cumulatively, these challenge the very notion of what a library is and offer exciting potential for what it might become. With broad experience in both public and private memory organizations on both sides of the Atlantic, Shenton offers her unique perspective on the research library community. Shenton shares some thoughts, including the changing and evolving concept of what is a library:http://budurl.com/zbkt The free event is the Ransom Center’s Donald G. Davis, Jr. lecture.
