This document discusses trends that will impact New Zealand libraries in 2025. It outlines three key trends: 1) Moving from patron-focused to patron-driven libraries by thinking like patrons and providing personalized content. 2) Shifting from presenting content in isolation to providing context by focusing on how information is presented. 3) Transitioning from only publishing content to promoting sharing where everyone can access and influence information. The document recommends libraries start experimenting with these trends and connecting with patrons to survive and thrive in the future.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Delivered to LIANZA Waikato/BOP Weekend School6-8 May 2011Waitomo, NZ
- Patron-focussed libraries know their patrons are important.Patron-driven libraries know their patrons are their business.
- Think like your patronsRather than learn about their patrons, patron-driven libraries think like their patrons and use this information to change the way their library is run. Eg suggestions for purchase vs patron-driven acquisitions.Live where they livePatrons live on their phones, at the malls, in the local newspaper and with their friends. Libraries should also live there. How will our community know what’s great about libraries if we don’t live where they live.Provide them with personalised, relevant contentNot all patrons are the same – some read, some surf the net, some ask for help. Yet why do we not provide personalised services to them? Not all patrons will want these choices, but what about those that do?
- The value of our content is and will continue to be determined by the context it is placed in. That is, how the content of libraries is packaged, presented, and what surrounds it (eg shelving arrangements, customer service, signage etc).
- What you say is less important than how you say itWhat’s the difference between information found in a book from the library and that same title from Amazon or Google Books? The content is essentially the same, but it is the context or packaging that differs. In differentiating our content from others, what we say is less important than how we say it.People are easily persuaded by other people that they likePeople are influenced by who liked or rated something, rather than the product itself. So while a list of Award finalists is interesting, far more relevant is a list of the finalists that your friends are reading.People will do things they see others doingWhat do patrons see libraries doing? What does the community we serve see librarians doing?
- From publishing content to sharing content.
- Everyone is connected to everyone elseTo create a successful piece of content libraries not only need to get people to like it, but must also encourage their audience to spread it through their own channels.Everyone who interacts will change the experience of those that followEvery comment, share, like and retweet builds a history. It becomes woven with the experience from others.Ownership is less important than accessPatrons are demanding content to be delivered when they want it. They don’t care where it comes from.
- Have conversations with your patronsIt is so much easier to ask than it is to assume.The more you know your patrons the more you will think like them, live where they live, be seen and be valued.Start experimentingDon’t wait for someone else to start for you.
