This document discusses 7 principles, perceptions, and trends affecting the digital space that libraries need to consider. It notes that digital information is exploding, more content means more knowledge, and information is accessible in small bytes. Libraries need to incorporate new technologies like widgets and APIs, stop focusing only on their home page, join the social evolution on sites like Facebook and Twitter, allow customers to use their space, and make connections rather than try to control online spaces. The key is that the digital world is decentralized and libraries must meet users where they are rather than expect them to come to the library.
