Libraries are changing just as their users are. People expect different services from libraries in the digital age. This German-American conference explores some of the changes to come and reflects on experiences gathered in the recent past. We want to start a wider discussion among participants, working from examples in the US and in Germany. Let us try to learn from each other.
