The Long Now Lecture Series @ retroTECH: The Library That Lasts by Hugh Howey

Join the Georgia Tech Library in the retroTECH Lab on the third floor of Crosland Tower on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. for The Long Now Lecture Series @ retroTECH. 

retroTECH's Long Now Lecture Series supports our mission to create the future by exploring and preserving our technological past. Each month, we dive into the archive at longnow.org to highlight a talk that connects to retroTECH's research focus: how our lives shape technology, and how technology shapes our lives over time. Following the video, participants are invited to join an open discussion led by a Georgia Tech librarian, archivist, or faculty member.

This month's featured talk is The Library That Lasts by author Hugh Howey. Presented in 2015, the lecture explores questions such as: How will texts survive over deep time? What might the library of the future look like?

The discussion will be facilitated by Justin Ellis, Digital Learning and Instruction Librarian.
