Book trailers are like movie trailers, but for books! You can find them all over the internet now, but here is a site that's featuring them on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/booktrailers What an interesting way to get people interested in reading!

Both ideas play out in the speakers' ideas. E.g., developing countries seek digital collections because they currently have more access to the artifacts of British culture than their local culture. On the flip side, in our culture, slowing down may mean finding balance by not focusing exclusively on digital capabilities in libraries. Hi Pete, “local” is key, so is the concept of “balance”.

Walt Crawford argues it better mind :) In essence, the slow library focuses on building a collection and services that reflects its community and the activities in that community that it can support. John,
