Surface Computing Coming to your Library? - 4/1/2008 - School Library Journal

A student walks into your media center, heads over to the reference desk and places his palm on the surface to access his network pass. The system, recognizing the student, then displays an assignment from his teacher, along with the pathfinder you created for the project. Another student lays her handheld on the desk and seeing her assignment appear, reaches out and drags it onto her device. Suddenly an announcement on the far edge of the desk catches her attention. The student touches the flyer, bringing it to the top of the pile. When she spreads her hand, the document magically expands so she can take a closer look.
