This document discusses shifts in academia and opportunities for libraries to innovate. It notes that the library is no longer central on campus and that formats like ebooks are growing. It advocates that libraries focus on becoming knowledge portals, emphasize quality content over formats, expand information literacy programs, and invest in strategic analytics to measure impact. Libraries should focus on being lesson-centric and on the questions of how library resources compare to other options and how users find and use virtual services. Emboldened librarians can help guide this path forward.
