cutting-edge technologies in library services

To quote from the original post

The American Library Association (ALA) Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and the Library Information Technology Association (LITA) have selected programs at Contra Costa County Library in Pleasant Hill, Calif., New Canaan High School Library in New Canaan, Conn., New York Public Library in New York, and Scottsdale Public Library in Scottsdale, Ariz., as the winners of the association’s third annual contest to honor cutting-edge technologies in library services.

Have a look at these impressive services...

Check out this recent post from there called Tinker, tailor, soldier, metadata (it will make you smile).
