FAD VS. FAB: TECH TRENDS
Angela Ocana, Branch Librarian, Santa Clara City Library: Northside Branch Library, Nichole King, Teen Librarian, Santa Clara County Library: Morgan Hill Community Library
Description: Neko Atsume? Pokemon? Podcasts? Maker spaces? Drones? Comic books? Digital collections? Snap Chat? Cat Memes? THE INTERNET?! What do these things have in common? They are some of the topics that our community and librarians are talking about. How can we understand which of these will be relevant to our community and which will turn out to be tired fads we shouldn’t have wasted time on? Audience members will get to vote on fad vs trend and then our panel of librarians lead a spirited debate to discuss what is fad and what is foe. (Spoiler alert: They do not agree!!)
