Workshop Abstract
This workshop session will help participants identify potentially relevant technological developments by learning about and making use of ‘Delphi’ processes. The workshop also provides insight into processes for spotting ‘weak signals’ which may indicate early use of technologies which could be important in the future.
But having identified potentially important technological developments, organisations need to decide how to respond. What will be the impact on existing technologies? What are the strategic implications and what are the implications for staff within the organisation?
The interactive workshop session will provide opportunities to address the challenges in understanding the implications of technological developments and making appropriate organisational interventions.

I think teleporting could have implications for libraries in the future! #saoim14 58
Feel free to add implications for users …
Teleporting could have implications for libraries as people won’t be put off from visiting when it’s raining! #saoim14 22
and implications for libraries
We would therefore need larger physical spaces for the teleporting visitors to the library #saoim14 41
Discuss the implications …
So maybe the books could be teleported. Would we need a physical library building? #saoim14 48
such as legal issues, business models, …
What about the legal implication? Border control? Which VAT rate to use? Importing banned book? … #saoim14 #wtf 27
