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

Everyone thinks it’s a good idea

The Solution
Innovate from Core Principles, Don’t Adopt Functions and Trends
Return to Theory
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.”

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

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
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
Recognize the Shift in Innovation from Concentrated in the Academy to Distributed throughout Practice and Other Industries
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
