The document discusses several ways that libraries need to adapt to ongoing technological disruptions:
- Libraries must focus on being educators rather than just providers of information and move beyond physical collections to support new formats like video, games, and virtual/augmented reality.
- They need to offer more services like makerspaces, learning spaces, and distance education support rather than just warehousing content.
- Libraries will need to work more with cloud infrastructure and partnerships rather than just maintaining their own systems, and prioritize strategic programs and services over individual events or initiatives.
The document argues that libraries must continually upgrade their skills and services to support online, mobile, and lifelong learning in order to remain relevant in an environment of

Dealing with the Internet Toddler

2. Every Day in every way libraries are
throwing pebbles
4. It’s simple really, shift happens, gedoverit
• Users & Communities will continue to be diverse in the extreme –
especially on learning styles
• Expectations around delivery timeliness will increase
• 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 professional service(s) and
strategic alignment (reduced roles in organizing knowledge and
step&fetchit politeness) . . . Service Professionals NOT Servants,
Educators not Supplements, real engagement rules
• E-Learning, collections and metadata will go to the cloud massively
5. Library Megatrends
It doesn’t take a genius to see librarian
skills and competencies applied to the
trends and issues in library
communities in very strategic ways –
social, economic, and discovery impacts.
6. Business Libraries
• Are you a librarian or an educator /researcher?
• Are you a support or mission-critical?
• Your business is education and applied & theoretical
research.
• Your competitors are non-traditional
• Your core business model is failing
• Renewed advocacy has moved from apple pie to
influencing and selling
• Library staff competencies need a plateau upgrade –
consultation, relationship, influence, educating . . .
12. Libraries core skill is not
delivering information
Libraries improve the
quality of the question
and the user experience
Libraries are about learning
and building communities
16. Think deeply about . . .

Your
Operation’s
Scalability
Your
sustainability
The depth of your
relationships How you set
priorities:
Daily and Future
28. • If all users are ubiquitously connected with
broadband, have downloading skills for books
and movies, own smartphones, whither
libraries?

adaptive technologies, audio, updating,
software tools, assessments, web-links, etc.

• Could your library support advanced higher
education and offer accredited courses or
support universities and colleges for distance
education?
• Have you catalogued them?

the needs of supporting hybrid or total
distance learning?

learning.

device?

desktops, laptops, tablets, phablets,
smartphones, televisions, appliances, at a
much higher level?

• Real multimedia? 3D objects and databases?
Holographics? Enhanced media?

spaces, writing labs, business and start-up
incubators, etc.

in the future?
• Can you support real learning spaces,
community meeting spaces, performance
spaces, maker spaces, real advisory spaces,
true relationship and consultation
management . . .? In a virtual space?
37. • What if everything was in the cloud? (software,
databases, metadata, content . . .)
• What would you do with those system skills on
staff?
38. • 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?
39. • What if all metadata and content discovery is
freely available using open APIs through the
OCLC WorldShare vault and the Digital Public
