Delaware2011
Stephen Abram's presentation discusses the need for libraries to change their strategies in response to rapid technological changes. Libraries must transition beyond being solely focused on books and move towards becoming knowledge portals that emphasize quality content in all formats. Libraries also need to expand information literacy programs and become format agnostic to better serve patrons. Strategic analytics are important to measure libraries' impact, ROI, and value. If libraries embrace these changes, focus on questions rather than answers, and empower librarians, they can continue playing a vital role in communities.
