Check out the Medical Library Trends blog and read what I and other librarians think will be the top technology trends that medical librarians will encounter. Read and see whether you agree or disagree then add your .02 cents. It is intended to be an open discussion.

ALA's technology arm LITA has been watching trends for years
(http://litablog.org/category/top-technology-trends/)
and there are numerous trade magazines that annually produce technology watch
lists.

These lists, while useful, do not always speak to the needs or concerns
of medical librarianship. Recently I began to wonder, what do medical librarians
think are the top technologies confronting our profession and how might this
differ from other lists . My primary intent is expose emerging technologies and
to hopefully start a conversation within the medical library community about
these technologies, our future, and the impact on the profession.

I asked three technology minded professionals try a little experiment with
me. Wallace McLendon, Gabe Rios, and Michelle Kraft are medical librarians who
do great things with technology. I asked each to come up with a list
technologies that are impacting our profession. I asked for around ten items,
there were no constraints, and each person worked independently.
You can
comment, disagree, or post your technology list on the site!
