T-L Cafe preso tonight

So then, if you're not doing much tonight stop by the T-L Cafe and visit for a bit. Ernie Cox and I will be trying to figure out how we need to change our physical library spaces to meet a digital future in Changed But Still Critical.

Here's the blurb:

Changed but Still Critical -Brick and Mortar School Libraries in the Digital Age

October 4th - 8pm EST
Guest: Doug Johnson
Host: Ernie Cox
Changed But Still Critical Wikipage
Today’s reality is that readers and information seekers are having increasingly less need to visit a physical library to meet their basic information needs. Digital information sources, readily accessed from classroom, home or mobile computing devices, are the choice of many learners and teachers. The “Net Generation” student increasingly prefers the visual and the virtual rather than the printed text. Why, many educators are asking, does a school need a physical library when seemingly all resources can be obtained using an inexpensive netbook and a wireless network connection? How can these large physical spaces in our schools be re-purposed for greater educational impact?

Be there or be square!

Doug,
Will this be archived? If so, when and where will it be available? I am very interested in this topic but that is the dinner hour here in CA.
