The Future of Libraries: Where are We Going?

March 16, 2011 at ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center, Charlotte, NC


As technology continues to rapidly transform the way libraries do business, how will libraries stay connected to the communities they serve as the world changes around them? As the function of libraries changes, what kind of new service models are being created to adapt to the times. From downloadable books to digitization of library collections, we’ll explore trends that continue to re-define the profession. Join MLA for this important panel discussion on what libraries are doing to position themselves as institutions of the future. The following panelists will be on hand to discuss this important topic:

KeeMaleskyKeynote Speaker: Kee Malesky, NPR Reference Librarian


Kee received her MSLS from Catholic University of America in 1986. She is active in SLA News Division and the DC Chapter, as well as Beta Phi, the international honor society of library science.

Kee worked as an administrator at NPR before getting her Library degree. She was lured to the library there by her friends after graduating with her Masters, to a job cataloging tapes of radio programs. She also had a stint as the staff librarian for “Performance Today,” NPRs original arts magazine program. In 1990, she made the switch into News Reference, where she has been since.

In addition, she recently published All Facts Considered: The Essential Library of Inessential Knowledge. She will be signing copies of her book while she is here.

On the afternoon of June 16, 2011, she will be joining Metrolina Library Association as the Keynote speaker for the Information Literacy Conference. She'll talk about the process of writing the book (All Facts Considered (Wiley 2010) a collection of interesting and unusual facts that Kee has collected in her 20+ years of answering questions for NPR journalists, and she's working on another one now), the life of an NPR librarian, and what information literacy means in a news organization.
