• The theme of the day was Next Generation Technical Services?  Who should care? If you work in public service, you should care.  If you work in collections, you should care. If you work in the Library, in otherwords, you should care. It will affect you.
• What is Next Generation Technical Services?  “stepping away from the purely local” – simultaneously global, collective and local; user driven; social; efficient; what the users want as a center for design; eliminating the duplicative effort of different libraries maintaining bib records separately
• “Synchronization, syndication, sharing”
