CALGARY — After getting council’s unanimous approval, the team building a new  central library plans to select an architect by September. Then, groundbreaking by next year, although many of the $245-million  project’s leaders hope the four-year construction timeline is a cautious  exaggeration. “I think that 2014 to 2018 is a pretty long time frame for people who are  really looking forward to having this new facility — which, I might add, will  have books in it,” Mayor Naheed Nenshi said Monday.

The iPad Mini’s Meaning and Impact - on #libraries

The iPad Mini’s Meaning and Impact - on #libraries | LibraryLinks LiensBiblio | Scoop.it
From joemurphylibraryfuture.com - November 9, 2012 9:08 AM

With this smaller device, the reach of the Apple iOS and resources through it expands to more of our patrons (those preferring the smaller device size and smoother integration into their lives) and into more of their spaces. So be prepared for more iOS mobile engagement with your content and services. For librarians’ use: the Mini may be better suited for mobile library staff: easier use with Square and mobile payments, more portable for roving reference, for checking out tablets to users."
