Get a Read on This: Libraries Bridging the Digital Divide: Andrew Roskill at TEDxCharleston

Despite the fact that Andrew Roskill is trying to sell to libraries his softwares and apps from his company Bibliolabs, this is a good talk. 
He has 5 suggestions for libraries: they need to embrace the mobile and apps platforms; embrace the 3 “E”s that Google, Apple and Amazon have (Easy, Elegant, and Engaging); provide good content that you don´t find everywhere else; build collections and put them into context through curation; and last but not the least, leverage something that the big three don´t have, their physical presence.
