Keynote: Lee Rainie, Pew Internet Project
Not a Think Tank, a Fact Tank
Attention Zones:
Most of us now have continuous partial attention, in the shallow end of most information
But there are some really deep divers, especially those recently diagnosed or their loved ones, and they want to be an instant expert on the condition.

Transliteracies: Libraries as the Critical "Classroom" /Gretchen Casserotti and Brian Hulsey
To be an active participant in today's society, you have to be literate across all media.
Concept of story has evolved in sooo many formats
Now that we experience the world through so many forms and formats, kids aren’t beholden to the container...they care about the content, so flexibility is key
Types of literacy: print, information, spacial, digital, scientific, visual, cultural, media
We cannot rely on standard forms of instruction for today’s generations
Don’t contribute to the growing disconnect between learning and life
Not just a digital divide, but a multilevel caste system (argh)
