In Conclusion•Evaluate trends and emerging technologies and adapt to your specific needs
•Think of the Viewmaster and how it connects to 3-D television•Know what you want to do and for which collections you want to provide access•You can’t digitize everything, but you can digitize and provide access to selected materials
•Build upon tried and true methods and technologies•Exhibits, Presentations, Programming, Websites•Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and more robust cloud computing, Podcasts•Crowdsourcing, RSS Feeds•Incorporate new technologies into print and exhibits•Personal Interaction is still one of the most effective means
•Engage Your Researcher No Matter What Age•Gamification
•Involve the Staff, Administration, and Faculty•Raise Funds (Donor, Grants, etc.)
