Tom Jacobson, Innovative’s VP Executive Library Advocate & Strategist, will be part of a panel on the CIL Connect 2021 online conference “Next Gen Tech & Libraries” at 11am EDT / 8am PDT on Thursday, March 25.

Marshall Breeding begins the discussion by exploring some of the key trends that have played out recently, including new product trends and the impact that consolidation has had on the options available to libraries, followed by a discussion with industry leaders, addressing a range of relevant topics, including how each organization has responded to the pandemic, and their ongoing development roadmaps.

The panel discusses how their technology products approach patron privacy, how systems can improve staff efficiency, and opportunities to strengthen engagement with library users through new discovery services, marketing automation services, analytics, and other timely technology products and services.
