Lee Rainie, Director, Imagining the Digital Future Center, Elon University former Director, Pew Research Center

Our popular speaker presents new findings about how people have shifted to the mindset of lifelong learners and the implications for libraries and librarians. He discusses how people’s disposition toward information and knowledge—are they engaged or are they wary?—shapes how they use library resources. He also shares the Center’s research about future technology trends and how we all will have to adjust to them.
