Libraries are changing.



Library technology is changing.



How do we move forward?


There is much greater opportunity to bring service to wherever potential users of library service happen to be.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

“For many people, cell phones have become an extension of themselves, fully incorporated into the rhythm of their lives.”

http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Cell-Activities.aspx



Casey Ceb’s New Yorker article “The Pointlessness

of Unplugging.”

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2014/03/the-pointlessness-of-unplugging.html


Unplugging “suggests that the selves we are online aren’t authentic, and that the relationships that we forge in digital spaces aren’t meaningful. This is odd, because some of our closest friends and most significant professional connections are people we’ve only ever met on the Internet.”


“I want to take away the iPad and send them outside. They are not in the moment.”

http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2014/06/opinion/michael-stephens/in-the-moment-office-hours



danah boyd notes that “most teens are not compelled by gadgetry as such—they are compelled by friendship. The gadgets are interesting to them primarily as a means to a social end.”


The Learner’s Experience?


People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want to.

http://www.nmc.org/publications/horizon-report-2012-higher-ed-edition


Learning Everywhere

http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/04/opinion/michael-stephens/learning-everywhere-office-hours/



What happens to learning when we move from the stable infrastructure of the twentieth century to the fluid infrastructure of the twenty-first century....?”


“...it is a platform to share and network imaginations.”

“The world is changing faster than ever and our skill sets have a shorter life.”

Thomas & Brown


“Play is the basis for cultivating imagination and innovation.” Thomas & Brown



Hyperlinked library services are born from the constant, positive, and purposeful adaptation to change that is based on thoughtful planning and grounded in the mission of libraries.

Hyperlinks are people too.


The library helps people make sense of the world.

The future?


Worldwide Classroom


Communications technology continues to change and connectthe world.

This is desired and leveraged.



Mobile technology access will be ubiquitous. Our “world” travels with us. Libraries & librarians are present and available everywhere we go.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/dokdelft/5283163908

The library is a community hub. Flexible, open and connected. Meeting place. Anything space.


Helping users create, curate and share their own digital content/creations/story is the norm.


The library uses the latest technology to make strong connections: between individuals, groups and the world. Knowledge flows. Planning is human-centered.



http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulwatson/4148536/

Opportunities to learn spread from the central hub - to everywhere!
