Identify three technology trends from the above list that are likely to impact on the work conducted in libraries, archives or other information agencies in the next five years.

There is an expectation that 10-15 sources are used in this essay from a range of resource types (i.e., scholarly and professional journal articles, conference papers, books, reputable websites). When proofreading your work, be sure to make sure supporting sources support your own ideas and are not simply tossed in in order to count as a citation. Another common problem can be when writers over- rely on the literature and their own ideas are not evident. It can be a tricky balance, but this is an important balance to practice at this stage in the course.
