Being adaptable in a flat world, knowing how to learn how to learn, will be one of the most important assets any worker can have, because job churn will come faster, because innovation will happen faster, writes Thomas Friedman in The World Is Flat.

I want to replace all librarians with tech people with great customer service skills and teaching ability. I want the library to have its own genius bar.

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

Casey Cebs 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 arent authentic, and that the relationships that we forge in digital spaces arent meaningful. This is odd, because some of our closest friends and most significant professional connections are people weve only ever met on the Internet.

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


The Learners Experience?


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

What about us?


Across all types of libraries, the librarian as community learning connector might support learners on platforms that offer endless opportunities.


Its a call to arms to continue thinking strategically about our spaces, our services, and learning.

The more you are online with your players, the more you will get to know them, their personalities, and their building style. They will begin to know you betterand form a radically different kind of relationship with your library, and with each other.

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!


What now?


If you can understand where you are and you have a general idea of the direction you want to go in and can share that vision with your staff and they believe in that vision, then you need to support them and get out of their way.
