- 14. What has changed: pedagogy — Knowledge workers need to be: — Innovative, creative, risk-taking — Independent, critical thinkers — Adaptable, willing and able to learn and relearn — Cross-culturally competent — Literate, numerate — …not worker bees trained to do only and exactly what they are told 14

- 16. The end of the ’Sage on the Stage’ 16
- 17. The shift to student-centred, group learning — Going from ‘The Sage on the Stage’ to ‘The Guide on the Side’ (Alison King, 1993) — Flipped classroom — Student-centred or problem-based learning — Social learning 17
- 18. The open learning commons — This new pedagogy creates the need for social learning spaces — These must be digitally connected to library- curated resources — Supported by access to high-use reference books (eg, key text books) — Libraries as ‘open learning commons’ 18
- 19. Conclusions § Traditionally university libraries have been book / journal repositories, where students read reference material between the book stacks § In a digital world of knowledge workers, university libraries need to be open learning commons – social learning spaces § Limit book stocks to high-use reference collections of textbooks § ‘University libraries should be a gymnasium for the mind’ 19
