[FREE webinar] From a Physical to a Virtual community space: what is possible?

FROM A PHYSICAL TO A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY SPACE: WHAT IS POSSIBLE?

This is Part 2 of 3 of webinars for the #EmergingInternationalVoices project of IFLA and Goethe-Institut.

Libraries are often seen as ‘third spaces’, or a key part of the ‘social infrastructure’ of the communities they serve. Much of this is based on the physical spaces they offer. We want participants to be able to explore the question of how increased use of digital tools – in particular remotely from the library – is likely to affect this aspect of libraries’ work. What do we know about how people interact with digital offerings, and how both to attract new users and keep those who are already there?

Speakers: Kathrin Schuster (Munich City Library) and Luke Swarthout (New York Public Library)

📅 When: October 15, 2020 (Thursday)

⏰ Time: 7-8 PM Philippine Time or 1-2 PM CEST
