This last week we held the first of three forums on 3D/VR in libraries sponsored by IMLS and held in Arlington, VA at the Virginia Tech Research Center. This was a fun event and was so good to work with my colleagues from VaTech, University of Oklahoma and many more…
Thanks to all of my colleagues for their support of this wonderful project!

Today I am at the ALA Annual Conference in Orlando. I am at a library services platform panel hosted by @mbreeding. At this panel most of the major library services platform vendors discussed the state of the market. There was actually a pretty good analysis of the consolidation happening in the market by Jim Tallman at III. Most talked a good game about system and service interoperability but I am intrigued by the new open player Folio_LSP.
Sebastien Hammer below discussed the launch of Folio_LSP.
This week am in Newark, NJ at the Rutgers University-Newark Campus with many old friends talking digital libraries. Am very excited about our proposal for next year in Toronto (go JCDL 2017).
Great morning in Newark here for #JCDL2016.
