The Florentine Dilemma

http://ptbed.org

Problem 1: Repetition“The Past: Our cradle, not our prison; there is

danger as well as appeal in its glamour.

The past is for inspiration, not

imitation, for continuation, not

repetition.”

Israel Zangwill

The Solution

Innovate from Core Principles, Don’t Adopt Functions and Trends

Return to Theory

http://ptbed.org

Theory and Practice

http://ptbed.org

Theory and Practice“...to practice without theory is to sail an uncharted sea; theory without practice is not to set sail at all.”

Theory and Practice“...to practice without theory is to sail an uncharted sea; theory without practice is not to set sail at all.”

“To me ... theory is like vegetables, I don't like eating it but I realize I have to in order to stay healthy”

LIS Theory

AS INSPIRATION FOR DEVELOPING A comprehensive, unified, explanatory theory of librarianship, the author makes an analogy to the unification of the fundamental forces of nature, beginning with the Copernican revolution, followed by the discoveries of Kepler, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, and the unification of electro-magnetism, light, the weak force, the electroweak force, the strong force, and the ultimate goal to include gravity, space, time, and relativity into a single grand unified theory.

The Problem?

Libraries are Not Natural

Must Look to Something More Fundamental

Big Theory

http://ptbed.org

Knowledge is Created Through Conversation*

Libraries, Being in the Knowledge Business, are in the Conversation Business

Artifacts are Secondary Objects

Knowledge is about Learning NOT Dissemination

Active...Participatory

Who Else is in the Knowledge Business?

Google?

Amazon?

Sears?

Call Centers?

What Participatory Tells UsThe User is in Control

It is ALL About Learning

Learning is a Collaborative Conversation

The Library Serves as Facilitators of Conversation

True Facilitation with the Community Means Shared Ownership

Invest in Tools for Creation Over the Collection of Artifacts

http://ptbed.org

So What is the Mission of the Library?

To Facilitate the Knowledge Creation of its Community through Conversation

http://ptbed.org

Think Bigger (not Hype)Not 2.0

Not a Product of New Features, but in Recognition of New Societal Needs and Capabilities

Preparing for a “Dewey-Level” Shift in Libraries: From Artifacts and Items to Knowledge and Relationships

Facilitation: Access, Knowledge, Environment, Motivation

Digitally Enabled Conversations

http://ptbed.org

So What is the Mission of LIS Education?

http://ptbed.org

Teach Change Management Not Leadership

Facing the Dysfunctional Innovation by New Hire Process

Provide Real World Opportunities to Implement Change Throughout the Educational Process

http://ptbed.org

Drink the Kool-Aid and Eat Your Own Dog Food

Model Co-Learning in the Classroom

Recognize and Enhance the Participatory Network that is a School

Transition from a School to a School of Thought

Intellectual Signatures not Motto’s

http://ptbed.org

Obligation of Leadership

Innovate from Core Principles

Simply Adopting Features Will at Best put You in Second Place

Obligation of LIS Education to Facilitate the Discussion Defining Librarianship

Accept the Obligation of Leadership
