Sirius is eight-point-six light years away
Arcturus is thirty seven
The past is the past
And it’s here to stay

Perspective
Learning as strategy
The mission of librarians is to
improve society through
facilitating knowledge creation
in their communities
Library learning strategy…
Learning empowers people…
Education for the young and life long learning for all.
The library supports learning on all levels - and for people
of all ages.
Libraries have the skills to support transformation of

Basic library skill
Knowledge about how people
learn, unlearn and relearn...
Participatory librarianship recasts library and
library practice using the fundamental concept
that knowledge is created through conversation.
Libraries are in the knowledge business,
therefore libraries are in the conversation
business. Participatory librarians approach their
work as facilitators of conversation.
“A makerspace is a
physical location
where people gather
to share resources
and knowledge,
work on projects,
network, and build.”
Educause Learning Initiative article:
7 things about Makerspaces
More definitions: http://renovatedlearning.com/2015/04/02/defining-makerspaces-part-1/
“Makerspaces are collaborative
learning environments where
people come together to share
materials and learn new skills…
makerspaces are not necessarily
born out of a specific set of
materials or spaces, but rather a
mindset of community partnership,
collaboration, and creation.”

Connected
Learning
“In the ‘connected learning’ approach,
learning is accelerated when it is powered
by an individual’s interests and passions,
supported by peers, and in spaces where
an individual feels valued and safe.”

Do you see new opportunities for
libraries in some of the learning
approaches just mentioned?
What skills do we need in the
profession to support learning / and

23 Mobile Things is…
Less structured than MOOCs
Everyone can join – at any time
Selfpaced
You can pick and choose things
You do not get ”an examn”
Harder to belong to a study group

Library services. 60 % -> 82 %

Conclusion:
“A learning program created to promote a culture
of play and exploration, this study offers
supporting evidence of the benefits and impact
of 23 Mobile Things for PD and for librarians and
administrators to utilize this free, open program
for staff training.“
Michael Stephens , (2014) “23 mobile things: self-directed and effective professional learning: “, Library Management , Vol. 35 Iss: 8/9,
pp. –.
Conclusion:
“Those guiding the development and training of
library staff should consider adapting the model
as an inclusive, hands-on learning opportunity to
promote staff use of mobile devices and
technologies.”

Share your reflections with
each other in groups of two
Can 23 be a way to add value
to your organisation or
community?
How would you design a thing for
your own 23 project?
What would you want staff /
community to learn and reflect on?
Key learnings:
Modern societies compete on knowledge
That makes libraries strategic learning institutions
Supporting learning on all levels -> learning as strategy
The 23 Mobile Things framework is a way to sharpen our skills
