Abstract

Emerging technologies are abundant and ever evolving. A day doesn’t pass without a software update or another exciting product release from our favorite technology company. Our Christian academic libraries are ideally situated with the infrastructure and cultural ethos needed to navigate this burgeoning reality well. As we engage this unfolding reality, how might our libraries explore this new frontier wisely? What essential components are needed to refine our approach as we integrate new emerging technology? My keynote will invite us to embark on a journey with a short visit to a “low tech” spiritual retreat community to help us develop a toolkit with themes of play, collaboration, hospitality, and contextual adaptation.

The keynote invited the audience to embark on a journey with a short visit to a “low tech” spiritual retreat community, Holden Village, to develop a toolkit with themes of play, collaboration, hospitality, and contextual adaptation.
