TOC 2012: LeVar Burton, Libraries and The Bookstore of the Future

TOC 2012: LeVar Burton, Libraries and The Bookstore of the Future | The Information Professional | Scoop.it

Calvin Reid:

"O’Reilly Media’s Tools of Change conference returned to New York with a typical high profile slate focused on publishing innovation driven by technology and a new vision of just what publishing can mean.

 This year’s TOC kicked off with an inspirational keynote by actor, director and now digital entrepreneur, LeVar Burton, before turning quickly to the big issues surrounding libraries and e-book lending and a new and breathtaking vision of independent bookselling."
