Abstract

The 21st century library has already faced an abundance of innovations, and it is not going to end. How is your library going to make decisions about adoption of up and coming innovations? Should you adopt them, and if so, when? Using the Gartner Hype Cycle can help you make informed decisions while managing your organization's tolerance for risk.
