Oregon State University’s Terry Reese could not easily get in to the LITA Top Tech Trends session at ALA Midwinter, so he drafted his own non-LITA Top Tech Trends and posted them on his blog Terry’s Worklog.

Terry joins us on this Talking with Talis podcast to describe and expand upon his five top tech trends:

1. Ultra-light and small PCs
2. Branding outside services as our own
3. Collections as services will change the way libraries do collection development
4. Increased move to outside library IT and increased love for hosted services
5. OCLC will continue to down the path to becoming just another vendor

Sites referenced in the conversation:

• Terry’s Worklog
• MarcEdit
• Karen Coombs - Midwinter Top Tech Musings
• Karen Schneider - Top Technology Trends, ALA Midwinter 2008

This conversation was conducted as a Skype call on Thursday 17th January 2008, recorded with Ecamm Network’s Call Recorder for Skype, and edited on a Mac with Garageband.
