The conference prompted them to start wondering how libraries approach training in hard times. When budgets get cut, how do you stay current and up-to-date? They ask lots of thought-provoking questions.

George kicks it off talking about Best Buy’s Geek Squad and an experience his co-worker Andy Havens (the voice of the narrator in George and Joan’s Library Carol podcast) related to him recently. Joan has stories to tell about recent expeditions to IKEA and the California DMV and what went right and what went wrong. Are there lessons in their tales for libraries? Absolutely!

This time around they focus on the Forum statements that look at what the library as an institution may be like in the future. And exactly how do you pronounce Taiga?

Does he try to do Tarzan’s savage war cry, too? Take a listen.

Here is a list of cites mentioned in the podcast.

The Taiga Forum is a group of academic librarians who meet once a year and create a series of “provocative statements” about libraries, the information environment and the possible future of the library world. As George and Joan point out, the Forum doesn’t make predictions – they weave plausible futures. Intriguing!

Is this new player a Kindle-killer? Is it a library-killer? It’s too soon to tell, but in their latest podcast, George & Joan do see implications for libraries. As Joan points out, the former conversation was about the container (the iPod, the Kindle, etc) – the B&N eBook Store makes it about the content, getting it fast however you want it. How can libraries cope? Listen and learn!
