Here's my third and final video from the library conference I attended week before last. This is a kind of rough cut made up of leftover snippets which still managed to work together pretty well. There's discussion of demographics, virtual reality, the economy, bilingual education, and flying cars. James Hughes of Rutgers University gives some more of his rather bleak outlook on the future; then he provides some interesting generational perspectives, along with Karen Hyman and Peter Bromberg of the South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative; as promised, Salvador Avila gives his unconventional views on bilingual education; finally, New Jersey State Librarian Norma Blake provides the best answer ever to the question about why we still don't have flying cars.

Once again, I'm less than pleased with the quality. These videos look great on my computer, but I really have to strip them down in order to get them to "mere" 100 MB mpeg files -- I remember when 100 MB files were considered to be kinda big -- not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll keep working on it. This lkast one was little longer than the first two, so it required more extreme scaling down. Meanwhile, I'm putting the nice big fat files onto a DVD for use by the New Jersey library folks. I could probably makes copies available to others, if there's any interest.

Part one in the series can be found here; part two, here.
