World Library and Information Congress : 77th IFLA General Conference and Assembly 17th August 2011, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Wednesday 13.45 till 15.45, Session 186 in Room 104
What makes internet of things so important to the IFLA ?
Further reasons:
Today, I estimate that we haveca. 4.000 libraries worldwideworking with RFID.
How many issuing companies offer here in our exhibition hall RFID solutions on their booths?
We are privileged to be here, means ourduty to theinterested non-participants.
Can RFID help us to mobilize information pinpoint (space-related)?
RFID on the surface didn’t seem the sexiest of topics ... but it turnedout to be one of the interesting ones. Richard Wallis

British Library predictsswitch to digital by 2020
Lynne Brindley (CEO, British Library, 2005)„Most people are aware that a national switch to digital broadcasting is expected by the end of thisdecade. Less well known is the fact that a similartrend is underway in the world of publishing: by theyear 2020, 40% of UK research monographs will beavailable in electronic format only, while a further 50% will be produced in both print and digital. A mere 10% of new titles will be available in print alone by 2020. „

British Library’s 2020 Vision
We estimate that by 2020, 75% of all titles worldwide will be published in digital form only, or in both digital and print.
