Primary tabs
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.
This drop-in event does not require registration, but we encourage you to let us know you're coming by registering ahead of time here.
