The document discusses how libraries can stay up-to-date with new technologies through discovery and play. It recommends that libraries designate staff as "Knowledge Players" who spend 15 minutes per day exploring new technologies by subscribing to blogs, tagging items in social bookmarking sites, creating learning blogs, and playing with different technologies. The document also provides a 9-week course for libraries to learn about various technologies like blogging, photos/images, RSS/newsreaders, tagging, wikis, and more through exploration and play.
