Welcome to a special edition of the MediaShift podcast, dedicated to library innovation. We're joined by two special guests this week, the American Library Association’s Cente'ss Miguel Figueroa, and Laurie Putnam at the San Jose State University School of Information. We’ll discuss the good -- and bad -- news about library funding around the world. We’ll also be talking about the recent South-by-Southwest conference in Austin and its focus on libraries this year, as well as other important upcoming conferences. All on this special edition of the MediaShift podcast!
