The document discusses challenges facing libraries and librarianship in an evolving information environment. It notes changes in technology, society, and the information marketplace. It suggests librarians focus on services for young people, technological sophistication, advocacy, and institutional repositories. The document argues librarianship needs to be more responsive to remain central to communities' information needs and should leverage tools like Wikipedia, YouTube, blogs and social media to stay relevant.
This document discusses how libraries can leverage social media to become more engaging and community-focused. It provides examples of how libraries are using various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Google+ to connect with users, share content, and foster collaboration. The key message is that libraries need an online presence and must embrace social media to remain relevant in today's technology-driven world where users increasingly access and share information online.
This document discusses emerging trends in media and technology. It notes that paradigms are shifting as broadcast media integrates with social media to create personal media. It also discusses how Moore's Law is driving increases in speed, connectivity, mobility and lowering costs. Finally, it suggests next generation thinkers value technology, expression, peer production and critical thinking over stored knowledge.
Revolutionising Libraries with Social MediaJudy O'Connell
With the emergence of tools such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, wikis, LinkedIn, virtual worlds and more, it has become important to offer a more customer-driven, socially rich and collaborative model of service and content delivery from our libraries.
Social media has few barriers. It's not about budget or acquiring the necessary tools.
What we need are experienced social media staff who can lead our libraries into participatory environments for the benefit of all.

The document discusses social media and how it has evolved from early platforms like Facebook that focused on connecting virtual friends to more modern location-based social networks like Foursquare that recommend places for users to visit based on their interests. It notes that while information retrieval was once based on personal connections in a "village paradigm", it now occurs through impersonal online resources in a "library paradigm" but that social media allows elements of both through real-time sharing and verification from multiple sources. The document concludes by advocating for customizing existing social media platforms to take advantage of both paradigms and benefit humanitarian efforts.
Existing social processes, design, and coordination of media are changing with the rise of mobile internet and social presence online. This has led to greater connectivity, mobility, and access to information anywhere at any time. However, it has also resulted in issues like "digital fatigue" from an overwhelming amount of information and challenges for non-media participants to navigate fragmented media environments. Going forward, there is potential to develop more intuitive and immersive resources that blend new media aesthetics, tools, and architectures with location-based services, personalization, and artificial intelligence.
This document discusses emerging mindsets in the digital age and new genres of engagement. It addresses how today's learners reconcile their online and offline lives and what tools and mediations they use to navigate various environments. The document examines how shared access to mobile devices and technology may impact how people experience and blend the virtual and physical. It suggests children are naturally adept at learning about unknown areas and exploring with uncertainties, and adults can learn from their interests and engagement.

The Expropriation of Digital Labor and What to Do About ItThe New School
The document discusses the expropriation of digital labor and potential solutions. It notes that billions of people participate online without realizing they are generating value, such as by generating metadata, gold farming, or improving search engines through clicks. This digital labor is often exploited by large platforms. Potential responses include promoting data portability, supporting non-profit platforms and free/open source software, unionization of digital workers, and hacks or artistic resistance against platforms.
Digital natives and virtual libraries: What does the future hold for libraries?Yasar Tonta
Digital natives are comfortable with digital technologies like the internet, social media, and video games. The document discusses how digital natives' preferences for speed, graphics, and random access are shaping the future of libraries, which are adopting virtual spaces and incorporating Web 2.0 technologies like social networking, user-generated content, and collaboration tools. The future of libraries lies in convergence between physical and virtual spaces that meets the needs and expectations of digital native patrons.

Mind mapping is a creative visualization technique that uses images, words, and concepts arranged spatially to represent semantic or other connections between portions of information. It stimulates both left-brain logical/linear and right-brain intuitive/visual thinking styles to help generate ideas and make complex relationships clearer. Mind maps provide a flexible global overview of a topic that can help with brainstorming, planning projects, learning, problem-solving, and decision making.
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing libraries in a changing information landscape. It notes that the internet is still in its infancy and search, social networks, learning and commerce are evolving rapidly. It questions how library functions will fit and responsibilities will change. The document advocates for collaboration between libraries and seeing beyond physical spaces. It also discusses the differences between public and private sector approaches and challenges faced by both.
This document discusses shifts towards digital fluency and embracing change in education. It notes that children are immersed in digital technologies from a young age, but the idea of "digital natives" is inaccurate as access and opportunities vary. It defines digital fluency as using technologies readily and strategically for learning, work and play. Communicating, connecting and collaborating online requires network literacies and understanding how networks function. Examples show using relevant modes, the power of global audiences, utilizing networks, and teaching/learning online. Embracing change involves planning for technology renewal, evaluating emerging technologies, responsible use policies, embracing free and open resources, understanding privacy and citizenship issues online.
Social Media-Q&A, tutorial, best practices, etcagawestfal
The document discusses 4 main ways that businesses use social media: 1) Build a community for customers/employees to support each other, 2) Energize passionate fans, 3) Find good ideas from customers/community, 4) Meet a need to make a connection. It emphasizes that social media should provide value to both customers and the brand by landing in the middle of being true to the brand and unexpected.
This document discusses the changing nature of books and libraries in the digital age. It notes that ebooks are outselling print books and will soon outsell paperbacks, and that many library users are now accessing services virtually through mobile devices. It suggests that within three years, the majority of library use, non-fiction circulation, and learning will be virtual. It emphasizes that librarians must help users develop new literacies to navigate this changing information landscape and ensure libraries continue to meet community needs.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Stephen Abram on the future of libraries and the changing information landscape. The presentation addressed how ebooks, mobility, collections and libraries themselves are changing due to new technologies. Abram emphasized that librarians must overcome fears of change and work collaboratively to create the future libraries that will meet evolving community needs. Key questions were posed about the role of ebooks, where all the changes are taking libraries, and what role librarians will play in the future information world.
The document discusses the changing role of libraries and librarians in a digital world. It notes that books, media, collections, and libraries themselves are changing due to ebooks, mobility, broadband access, and emerging technologies. Librarians must help connect people to information, knowledge, and learning and overcome challenges like fear of change. The future will see most library use and materials in virtual formats accessed on mobile devices. Librarians need to strategically plan for this future and priorities like acquiring ebook content and supporting mobile users.
The document discusses how the internet is changing media and society. Key points:
1. The internet allows anyone to publish content, not just traditional media. This leads to a culture revolution as opinions come from a wider range of voices.
2. Readers want information anytime online. Publishing becomes continuous. Content can reach a global yet local audience. Performance and specialization improve with direct access to specific topics. Loyalty decreases as switching costs are low.
3. Aggregators may grow more than content creators as they control information flow and add value for readers. New influencers and business models will emerge.
4. The future of media will be personalized, understand individual interests, and recommend new information
This document summarizes a presentation on the evolution of libraries given by Stephen Abram. It addresses questions about whether libraries are at risk of becoming obsolete and how they must change and adapt to new technologies and user needs. Key points discussed include how users, collections, mobility, and the role of libraries have significantly changed; challenges like ebooks outpacing print; and opportunities for libraries to stay relevant through embracing new formats, building knowledge portals, and enhancing discovery of library resources online. The presentation argues that libraries must keep up with rapid changes and work as a team to better understand users and ensure they are successful and satisfied.
Today we find ourselves confronted by an overwhelming frequency of radical transformation and information overload. Extracting meaning from this paradigm and accordingly, addressing opportunities and challenges arising through ubiquitous connection and socialisation, has become the conversation of our time. The Third Place Manifesto addresses this change with a view to 'rediscovering' context within persistently disruptive and emergent social ecosystems.

Future Trends: Will Libraries Be At The Table? discusses how libraries must adapt to remain relevant in a changing information landscape. It notes that technology and the internet are still in their infancy and driving major shifts like the rise of the social web. The document argues that libraries should focus on evolving areas like mobility, social media, and building knowledge portals to better serve user needs. It emphasizes measuring impact and collaborating over traditional metrics to advocate for the library's role in building critical connections between information, knowledge, and learning.
This document summarizes a presentation by Stephen Abram about how libraries can adapt to future changes. It discusses how books are evolving in the digital age and new formats like ebooks. It also addresses how customers are changing with new literacies and how libraries can shift their focus to better meet user needs through knowledge portals, mobile services, and emphasizing their social role in building critical thinking. The presentation advocates that libraries measure their true impact and value to remain relevant institutions.
Social media has fundamentally changed communication and how information is shared. Key points:
1) Web 2.0 allows for user participation and collaboration through tools like wikis, blogs, social bookmarks, and user-generated content sites.
2) Social media use is widespread, with platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube all seeing billions of users and views daily.
3) Businesses are recognizing social media's potential for continual customer engagement, global reach, accessibility, and real-time updates. Industries are finding uses in healthcare, marketing, journalism, education and more.
4) Schools are integrating social media tools into curricula to prepare students for a participatory digital world, but
1. Every decision made about information is a filter that shapes reality. When classifying or structuring information, professionals are asserting power over what information is organized and how.
2. No information filter is neutral - they all reflect biases and choices about what to include or exclude. Indigenous communities have suffered from biased filters in colonial archives, so tools like Mukurtu are being developed through community partnerships.
3. Professionals have a responsibility over the power of information filters and must ensure biases are not amplified to disempower groups. While machines can help, humans cannot outsource accountability for information outcomes and consequences.
Social media allows for both social good and information overload. While it facilitates connecting with others, it can also be a waste of time with too much unimportant content. Looking back, societies once relied on word-of-mouth sharing of information within communities, referred to as the "village paradigm", where trust was based on personal relationships. Now, the "library paradigm" provides impersonal online information, but also risks overload without distinguishing useful from unnecessary data. Social networks still fulfill people's innate need for real-time information from trusted sources, showing that both paradigms remain relevant as technology evolves.

1) The document discusses how society and media are evolving from linear models to more complex networked models that mimic nature.
2) It argues that human's innate need for connection and communication is driving the rise of participatory digital media and social networks.
3) Engagement requires adopting a new logic focused on networks, connections between people, and harnessing collective intelligence.
This document summarizes Stephen Abram's presentation on "Future Ready Libraries: Seducing the Customer". The presentation discusses how libraries must evolve to remain relevant by focusing on customer needs and questions, building knowledge portals to provide integrated information, and emphasizing quality over specific formats like books. It also stresses the importance of social media and information literacy programs to help patrons develop critical thinking skills. The key is for libraries to innovate by focusing on major shifts like the rise of social media and measuring their impact and value through analytics.
We are creating a new kind of reality, one in which physical and digital environments, media, and
interactions are woven together throughout our daily lives. In this world, the virtual and the physical
are seamlessly integrated. Cyberspace is not a destination; rather, it is a layer tightly integrated
into the world around us.
This document summarizes Stephen Abram's presentation on building the new academic library experience. He discusses how libraries and librarians must adapt to major changes in technology, user needs, and information consumption. Abram notes that books, media, mobility, collections, and the definition of libraries themselves are changing. He argues that librarians still play a vital role by building connections between users and information. The presentation examines trends in demographics, technology usage, and emerging areas that will impact libraries and users. Abram stresses the need for strategic thinking to help libraries choose priorities and guide their transition to remain relevant in the future.
The document discusses different perspectives on generational differences, particularly between older generations and younger "digital native" students. It explores conflicting views on how technology has impacted learning styles and skills. Experts are cited arguing both that students' technology immersion has fundamentally changed their thinking, and questioning assumptions about generational gaps and students' technical competence. The document also questions approaches that mimic students' online environments versus guiding their learning.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

technology, sure—about which more soon Google does just fine, right?
competitive and volatile information marketplace (publisher well, no…and yes
and consumer)—likewise
what’s not there, what’s no good, what’s really great, what
and the society changes
we pay for that’s better
§ median age inc to 38.7 by ’30, 69M over age 65, 20% of
not to mention what we know
US population (from 39M in ’10)
will continue to evolve, change, with increasing complexity
§ nonhispanic whites 53% of population by ’50 (now 74%)
and rapidity, and will profoundly affect the information
§ Hispanic, Asian growth rates 2% per year
environment of our communities
a couple of recent examples $ (£, ¥, €)
Wikipedia an increasingly complicated information marketplace
good, bad, when, how, for whom? mergers, acquisitions; book and journal publishers, media
companies, even system vendors
YouTube
smile! Candid Camera for the 21st c a great deal of “free” content (tho free ain’t always)
Second Life are these temporary or ephemeral phenomena?
what’s important about this (and things like it), if anything? how do you beat free, easy, quick, and good enough?
another recent example privacy & intellectual freedom
Google Book Search, Open Content Alliance, Windows Live increasing logging and capture functions (circulation,
Books database searching, digital reference transactions)
moving beyond the free Web side benefit of learning about users, communities, uses,
needs
deals with content providers, starts to look a lot more like the
“traditional” content industry
increasing governmental ability, willingness (?), need (?) to
play in this realm [CDA, COPA, CIPA, PATRIOT Act,
beyond?]
young people seem not to care about this as much as we
do in exchange for convenience

3. perception librarianship evolves
place to get good books, for kids, inspire reading and learning as it always has, to meet the present and likely future
challenges
pornographers
place to read your email we have to be worth it, necessary, and make a convincing
boring case
hysterical so what do we do now?
ignored
we do such a good job….
all of these?
we are becoming increasingly marginal in the popular mind,
excepting dedicated library users, even as actual usage rises (as
measured by interaction with quality resources paid for by the
library)
what to do ideas
something, anything that advances the cause of centrality; Wikipedia
what makes us better, stronger, more central to their create and edit entries, cite sources, fight for quality, be a
information lives positive force
YouTube
be where they are, be relevant to what they want and want
to do make a video, show how cool libraries and librarians really are
MySpace, Facebook
stand for what we stand for
make a page, offer service, resources
Second Life
the next generation of creativity
ideas what to do
learn, play, succeed, fail, share focus on services to the young
read and participate in the library blogosphere reading & literacy, incl reading advocacy, services to new
members of community
use these tools but don’t compete with things you can’t
beat (search tool bar) technological sophistication, tool building and
assessment
make judicious choices based on your experience &
professionalism advocate for intellectual freedom & privacy
put creativity at the center of what you do (in both ways) institutional repositories
rethink priorities & assumptions

4. skills, training, experience,
what to do
background
play to our strengths librarianship is a “conservative” profession
focus on things that we can uniquely do, that uniquely emphasis on tradition, consistency
define us: quality, depth, education, instruction, literacy, cf overemphasis
community & clientele basis, tool building, and so on and yet there are so many new things we could do, or old
and how they fit in the emerging information environment things we could do newly
and… what old things to give up or cede to competitors, profession will need to be continually responsive and agile
what could other people, organizations, institutions do in training and preparing ourselves to effectively compete
better or don’t need to be done at all? in this environment
all this implies and what do we do?
an extended notion of “library”, “librarianship”, etc a profession first among equals
anywhere, anytime, any way in which people interact with no us, nobody else
information organized, provided, supported by their own make humanity more human
community via their library staff allow us to better ourselves individually and collectively
and thus…we have to be even better online than in person these are the goals, only one way to do it: centrality to the
information lives of our communities
