Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to summarize various presentations at EBSCO’s Technology Day, held in Manchester (UK) on 21 March 2023. Key topics included library user analytics, linked data, open-source software and library partnerships. Design/methodology/approach This study reports from the viewpoint of an attendee of the event. This summarises the main issues raised by each presentation and draws out the key learning points for practical situations. Findings The event focused on some new EBSCO products, including Panorama and BiblioGraph, as well as the open-source FOLIO product. The presenters highlighted technical detail involved in the various tools and drew attention to key issues to consider during product implementations. Originality/value This event highlighted key changes in metadata standards, with a shift from MARC to BIBFRAME now a tangible possibility. It highlighted how new library products in the future will be focused on adding value to how a library operates and makes decisions. The event underlined the importance of partnerships between the various actors in the library world, including suppliers.

期刊介绍： Library Hi Tech News (LHTN) helps busy professionals stay abreast of current events and developments in the library and information industry. LHTN publishes articles of varying lengths, reports from relevant conferences, and case studies of how technology is used in the library. The Editors work closely with authors who are new to publishing, and those who are seeking outlets for reporting on practical uses of IT in libraries. Publishing your article in LHTN can be "a place to start," analogous to a "poster session in print", and does not preclude publishing a more fulsome piece in a peer-reviewed journal at a later date. Readers consider LHTN as the source from which to hear what’s coming next in terms of technology development for academic and public libraries.
