Mobile Discovery Tools: MyLibrary, Polaris Mobile PAC, OCLC/Red Laser, Library Thing/Local, SyrsiDynix BookMyne
Augmented Reality -- what it is and how it might be used by libraries

Failing to Win -- a cultural shift in viewing failure as a part of success, rather than a negative
Finally, flexibility, deconstruction, serendipity, and community as growing trends in the transition of the library world as well as the world as a whole.
Two final apps: Foursquare and GoogleBuzz
