Can everyone source their force?
Can we contribute to everyone’s self-actualization?

Print was complicated too
It’s simple really, shift happens, gedoverit
• Learners & Communities will continue to be diverse in the extreme –
especially on learning styles
• A foot in both camps for many, many years to come: digital and physical
• Content is already be dominated by non-text (gamification, 3D, graphics,
numeric, visual, music, video, audio, etc.)
• Search will explode with more options and one-step, one box search is
for dummies not professionally educated folks
• The single purpose anchored device is already dead as a target
• Devices will focus on social, collaboration, sharing, learning, multimedia,
creation and successful library strategies must align with that
• Librarians will need to focus primarily on transformational librarianship
and strategic alignment with curriculum
• Systems, E-Learning, collections and metadata will go to the cloud
massively
• Watch Blockchain, Drones, Toys, iBeacons, for hints
Library Megatrends
It doesn’t take a genius to see that librarian skills
and competencies applied to the trends and issues
in our communities can help in very strategic ways
– social, economic, creative, and discovery impacts.
Public Libraries
• Are you a librarian or an educator?
• Are you a support or mission-critical?
• Your business is community impact and learning
(they’re different)
• Your new competitors are non-traditional
• Renewed advocacy has moved from apple pie to
influencing and selling the value and impact of
libraries
• Library staff competencies need a plateau upgrade –
consultation, relationship, influence, educating . . .
Deer in headlamps slide here.
Libraries core skill is not
delivering information
Libraries improve the
quality of the question
and the user experience
Learning Libraries are about
building life competencies
Library Magic
What are your magic tricks?
Failure to Reward Risk
Digital risk has raised the bar on risk taking in library land.
Librarianship Culture
Avoiding the triple diseases of:
1. Conflict avoidance
2. Passive resistance
3. Risk aversion
Smelly
Yellow
Liquid
Or
Sex
Appeal?
The Complex Value Proposition
Are you locked into an old library mindset?
A Verb . . . an Experience, enlivened for an audience
A Noun . . . A foundation but not sufficient with professional animation
Grocery Stores
Cookbooks, Chefs . . .
Cookbooks, Chefs . . .
Meals
Library Land
What changes, disruptions
and shifts are already in
the environment?
What does way out mean?
• Normal means that enough libraries have adopted and are learning by
doing that the adoption curve is well launched.
What does way out mean?
• This stuff is ‘normal’ now.
▫ Makerspaces
▫ Print and Digital Publishing on demand
▫ Wide Social Media use for engagement and marketing

The Flavours of Makerspaces
• http://oedb.org/ilibrarian/4-flavors-makerspaces/
• FabLabs
• Hackerspaces
• TechShops
• Makerspaces
• Bakerspaces
• Writing Labs – Poetry Slams, Lyrics, NaNoWriMo
• Art Shows: ArtSpaces
• Music: PerformanceSpaces
1. Some ideas
• ONE ILS
http://www.goscl.com/scl-working-to-create-unified-digital-platform-for-all-libraries/
2. Some Ideas
• Internet of Things
• What is a thing?
• How does this
impact library land?
3. Some ideas
• Truly disrupting the BOOK codex
• Are we at phase one of digital books where we merely create a digital
version of the Gutenberg Codex?
• 3 dimensional text, type, leading, spines, ears and feet.
• Audio, video,
• Interactivity with the server, community, other readers, classmates…
• Create your own path…
• Add yourself into the story – fan readers versus fan fiction…
4. Some Ideas
• Beacons
• NFC killed the QR Star!
Librarybox.com
5. Some Ideas
• Big Data, Little Data
• Insights from Aggregated and Anonymized Data Patterns
• Very few libraries have truly BIG data but many of our vendors do.
• Can this be the end of handcrafted book choices? Newspapers? POV
periodicals? Albums? Scholarly festschrifts?
Snapchat and their Plans
At launch, Snapchat is
working with ten media
partners, including CNN,
ESPN, and National
Geographic. These
companies will release a
new edition of Discover
content every 24 hours,
featuring both videos and
articles hand picked by
their staffers. The goal for
these media companies, of
course, is to hook a new,
younger audience that
doesn’t often connect with
traditional media.

Trend: Pop Up Retail Stores
Mobile Maker
When you’re doing it right you . . .
• If all users are ubiquitously connected with
broadband, have downloading skills for books
and movies, own smartphones, whither
libraries?
• What about the ‘digital divide’?
• If the school system (K-12 and HigherEd)
changes radically …?
• What if all music, audiobooks, and video
moved to streaming formats by 2018?
• What if the DVD and CD go the way of vinyl,
VHS, and cassettes?
• What if all books are digital?
• What if book services move to a subscription
model of unlimited use for $7/month?
• What about next generation e-books?
• What if all books are ‘beyond text’?
• The NextGen Textbook…
• Can we support books with embedded video,
adaptive technologies, audio, updating,
software tools, assessments, web-links, etc.
• Ask ourselves about archiving and
preservation – the record
• Are you positioned at the lesson level?
• Could your library support all curricula and
distance education?
• Have you catalogued the learning
opportunities on the web? (Khan Academy,
Coursera, Udacity, edX, MIT, Harvard, MOOCs,
YouTube, Learn4All (ed2go), …)
E-Learning Free, fee, hybrid
Khan Academy
Coursera, Udacity, EdX
Learn4Life, Ed2Go, Lynda.com, etc.
• Could your library support real e-learning
• Is EVERY staff member fluent in your LMS and the
needs of supporting hybrid or total distance
learning?
• By the way – nearly all learning is distance
learning from the perspective of the library and
user.
• Could your library support any kind of mobile
device? (mCobiss)
• Are you fully ready to deliver, agnostically to
desktops, laptops, tablets, phablets,
smartphones, televisions, appliances, at a
much higher level?
• Are you prepared for new forms of content?
• Real multimedia? 3D objects and databases?
Holographics? Enhanced media?
• Embedded assessment and tracking tools?
• Can you be ready for makerspaces, creative
spaces, writing labs, business and start-up
incubators, etc.
• Can you publish for your community?
• What kinds of learning spaces are needed in
the future?
• Can you support real learning spaces,
community meeting spaces, performance
spaces, maker spaces, real advisory spaces,
true relationship, collaboration, and
consultation management . . .? In a virtual
space?
• Makerspaces
• Writing Labs
• Poetry and short story contests
• Cooking
• Music
• Robotics, Lego, ….
• Crafts, knitting, sewing clubs
• Photography and art
• What if everything was in the cloud?
(software, databases, metadata, content . . .)
• What would you do with those system skills
on staff?
• What if all metadata and content discovery is
freely available using open APIs through the
OCLC WorldShare vault and the Digital Public
Library of America / Europeana vault of open
and free metadata?
• What if search immersive resource discovery
becomes as ubiquitous as search engines?
• Can they find as well as search?
• Are your training sessions hitting 100% of
students?
• Are they aligned with workflow or
transactions?
Definitions
• Discovery
• Search – known item retrieval
• Topical or Subject Search
• Research
• Immersive Learning
• Assembly
• Two step discovery: discover, searching, finding,
use
• The pressure is ON for librarians to scale up their
information fluency training initiatives

Next generation content linking architecture
It’s not about library to library but library in the broader content
eco-system (and it’s not about text first)
Living our values needs structure in the digital world . . .

  • 35. It’s simple really, shift happens, gedoverit • Learners & Communities will continue to be diverse in the extreme – especially on learning styles • A foot in both camps for many, many years to come: digital and physical • Content is already be dominated by non-text (gamification, 3D, graphics, numeric, visual, music, video, audio, etc.) • Search will explode with more options and one-step, one box search is for dummies not professionally educated folks • The single purpose anchored device is already dead as a target • Devices will focus on social, collaboration, sharing, learning, multimedia, creation and successful library strategies must align with that • Librarians will need to focus primarily on transformational librarianship and strategic alignment with curriculum • Systems, E-Learning, collections and metadata will go to the cloud massively • Watch Blockchain, Drones, Toys, iBeacons, for hints
  • 36. Library Megatrends It doesn’t take a genius to see that librarian skills and competencies applied to the trends and issues in our communities can help in very strategic ways – social, economic, creative, and discovery impacts.
  • 37. Public Libraries • Are you a librarian or an educator? • Are you a support or mission-critical? • Your business is community impact and learning (they’re different) • Your new competitors are non-traditional • Renewed advocacy has moved from apple pie to influencing and selling the value and impact of libraries • Library staff competencies need a plateau upgrade – consultation, relationship, influence, educating . . .

  • 66. 3.

  • 67. 4. Some Ideas • Beacons • NFC killed the QR Star!
  • 69. 5. Some Ideas • Big Data, Little Data • Insights from Aggregated and Anonymized Data Patterns • Very few libraries have truly BIG data but many of our vendors do. • Can this be the end of handcrafted book choices? Newspapers? POV periodicals? Albums? Scholarly festschrifts?
  • 70. Snapchat and their Plans At launch, Snapchat is working with ten media partners, including CNN, ESPN, and National Geographic. These companies will release a new edition of Discover content every 24 hours, featuring both videos and articles hand picked by their staffers. The goal for these media companies, of course, is to hook a new, younger audience that doesn’t often connect with traditional media. http://www.niemanlab.org/2015/01/snapchats-new-discover-feature-could-be-a-significant-moment-in-the-evolution-of-mobile-news/

  • 87. • What if all music, audiobooks, and video moved to streaming formats by 2018? • What if the DVD and CD go the way of vinyl, VHS, and cassettes?
  • 88. • What if all books are digital? • What if book services move to a subscription model of unlimited use for $7/month? • What about next generation e-books?
  • 89. • What if all books are ‘beyond text’? • The NextGen Textbook… • Can we support books with embedded video, adaptive technologies, audio, updating, software tools, assessments, web-links, etc. • Ask ourselves about archiving and preservation – the record

  • 97. • What if everything was in the cloud? (software, databases, metadata, content . . .) • What would you do with those system skills on staff? • What if all metadata and content discovery is freely available using open APIs through the OCLC WorldShare vault and the Digital Public Library of America / Europeana vault of open and free metadata?
  • 98. • What if search immersive resource discovery becomes as ubiquitous as search engines? • Can they find as well as search? • Are your training sessions hitting 100% of students? • Are they aligned with workflow or transactions?
  • 99. Definitions • Discovery • Search – known item retrieval • Topical or Subject Search • Research • Immersive Learning • Assembly • Two step discovery: discover, searching, finding, use • The pressure is ON for librarians to scale up their information fluency training initiatives
