Multimedia: Flash vs. HTML 5
HTML5 is latest version of HTML, the language of the WWW

What does all this mean for libraries?
Make informed, strategic decisions about technology HTML5 instead of Flash Add or Expand support for mobile devices Watch Apple – disruptive change-agents
Leverage free but powerful tools (such as QR codes) to create new ways to interact with patrons
Support digital book demand increases as reading devices proliferate
