Notes de l'éditeur
- Hi, i’m eli, and I work as the associate director for IT and Production at the Ann Arbor District Library. That said, the following is my personal opinion:
- Hi, i’m eli, and I work as the associate director for IT and Production at the Ann Arbor District Library. That said, the following is my personal opinion:
- Libraries are screwed because the codex has become outmoded. Not obsolete, not worthless, not crappy; just outmoded. replaced by an increasingly convenient format.
- a format shift is happening not just a change of the text delivery format, but a move away from ownable, sharable content. And libraries are in the business of owning and sharing content.
- The more heavily invested you are in a media format, the worse you get screwed when that media format becomes inevitably outmoded... ask any library that circulated laserdiscs...
- and the faster the format becomes outmoded, the faster you get screwed, regardless of the quality of the content encoded into the format.... ask any library that actually bought HD-DVDs (if you can find one, we’re not usually suckers)
- but it’s not just about our physical investment; despite efforts to the contrary, the BRAND of libraries is essentially “The Book Temple”.
- Our values, and operational parameters, and even our physical facilities are all built around the codex. (bonus question 1: anybody know where this is? Kansas Peeps? answers at the end) But the codex is outmoded, replaced by an increasingly convenient alternative. And if Libraries can’t disassociate themselves from the codex and its requirements, your memorial library can quickly become...
- a library memorial.
- Now, consider candles! As a technology, they are completely obsolete, unreliable, messy, and inefficient... yet there isn’t a 21st century kid in the world who doesn’t know what they are.
- because they occupy a very different place in our society than they did at their sales peak. Now, it’s all about experience... ceremony... atmosphere... or, for when out modern infrastructures fail us and leave us in the dark...
- but the most interesting thing about what happened to candles since they peaked is that the candles that are now produced are optimized along completely different axes than they used to be, such as how they smell, or how they’re decorated. Also, 90% of them are bought by women. But it’s still a 2 billion dollar industry in the US...
- like whale watching, or, what else is a $2 billion dollar industry...
- Oh right, Yu-Gi-Oh!
- Is the future of the codex (Bonus 3, who is this guy?) like the present of the typewriter? Will someone who has a book collection seem as eccentric and confused....
- as someone who has a typewriter collection? No bonus here, nobody knows who this guy is although I think his name is actually Olaf.
- Remember what libraries used to be for? (bonus question 4: what library is this?) Not to purchase commercial content for the community, but to store and organize the content OF the community.
- Popular materials have fueled a huge boom of popular libraries. But Libraries were created to protect and ensure access to things like this for the communities that produced them, not to subsidize access to the hottest new clay tablets from babylon.
- Now, it’s not just the data about the community, but also the creations of the community that libraries can enable, by giving patrons access to production tools, event venues, and a permanent online home; putting the emphasis on the library as a platform for the community....
- and less emphasis on enough copies of the hot new thing.
- and of course, all this is happening as taxpayers are simply having to decide what municipal services they can live without.
- This cat is out of the bag. Everyone is a publisher. To draw another analogy from the wonderful world of outmoded technologies, consider the lost icehouse. the publishing industry is making beautiful, professional ice, but we’ve just entered the age of the home refrigerator. The market for Ice, and the business of making and selling Ice will never be the same, ever again.
- -We love books and they will still be around, but the world is changed

- Current offerings alienate our customers either because they have so much trouble using it, despite the promises of newer apps and devices They also alienate because of the massive cost of the subscriptions, costs that include not a single ebook but just the technology to provide it. Those costs prevent us from building collections that meet the demands of our patrons. By working with libraries, we can design something that will
- Libraries need an infrastructure that is substantial: it provides the content that patrons want
- Highly functional: it must work across a range of devices, be as easy to use as possible, and versatile
- It must make sense for library budgets, satisfy needs, help libraries fulfill missions
- -We are a new kind of non-profit org. -By libraries, with libraries, for libraries. -Most content consumed from libs in the next 10 years (and beyond) will be electronic. Not print. -We love books and they will still be around, but the world is changed. -If libraries do not respond in thoughtful, bold new ways libraries will fade in relevance, use and support. This damage to the fabric of democracy must not be allowed to happen. -Library Renewal develops relationships, partnerships, research and solutions. -The mission of libraries is the mission of Library Renewal -We are structured via mission, bylaws, and internal checks to absolutely ensure our work is by libraries, for libraries, with libraries

- -We do four things: build partnerships, relationships, conduction research, and bring out solutions for electronic content in libraries. We do this via our Board structure, Partner Library Program, Advocates Program and various Advisory Boards. -We believe libraries need a new kind of electronic content access and distribution infrastructure. -Partner libs are involved in shaping the functionality and structure of this infrastructure as are Advocates (volunteers) and Board members. -The work we undertake is guided by constant focus on mission and remembering who we are working for: you as a library staffer, local libraries and libraries patrons.
- This is a brief summary of what Library Renewal has accomplished without funding. In order to take our work further are now seeking funding to secure staff paid, operational resources, manage an expanding array of relationships, seek additional funds for further expansion and fulfill the mission of the org in the most timely manner possible. We have met with great success already and are well prepared to take this forward and use it to create real solutions that serve libraries and library users. Here are some examples of that success:
- Averaging one conference a month around the country
- Where will this culture of innovation come from? You!
