The document discusses key trends and forces driving changes in libraries. It identifies trends affecting different types of libraries, including content fragmentation across different formats, beyond just text to various multimedia, and walled gardens created by proprietary platforms. It also discusses trends like learning object diversification, end user fragmentation across demographics, search fragmentation across tools, and technology fragmentation across devices. The document advocates recognizing these shifts and discusses recommendations for public libraries around ebooks, community roles, and partnerships. It also discusses opportunities for cooperation across consortia. The goal is to understand real pain points and evolve libraries around a grocery store model focused on user experiences.
Celuplbigs report2015
The Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL) has released new statistics on Ontario public libraries from 2001-2013. The report is an 81-page PDF that includes an introduction and sections on key ratios, circulation, programming, expenditures, digital materials holdings, and other metrics. FOPL also released the results of its 2015 public opinion poll on libraries in Ontario in a 103-page report and 33-slide presentation. Additionally, FOPL examined branding of Ontario public libraries. The documents provide extensive data on operating metrics and use of Ontario public libraries over the last decade.
Setting the stage for change
The document discusses changes underway at the Brampton Library. A new CEO arrived and identified increasing staff technical acumen as the top priority to improve customer service. Chromebooks were introduced for frontline staff, reducing device costs and empowering staff to help customers. This created excitement among both staff and customers. The roles of librarians and senior management had stagnated and were being updated without cascading changes to other staff. A new staffing model was created based on strategic priorities rather than physical sites, clustering branch managers and creating new positions aligned with priorities. Further opportunities to support strategic priorities through continued improvements were discussed.

This document discusses innovation in libraries in an age of limits. It outlines 23 transformational technologies that will affect libraries over the next decade, including linked data, mobile technologies, analytics, and streaming media. It argues that libraries should focus on complementing commercial search engines like Google based on their strengths, and should aim to provide an immersive discovery experience for users rather than competing directly with other platforms. The document also discusses principles like collaboration, accessibility, and focusing on the user experience above specific technologies.

Alamw2013
The document discusses personas and user archetypes for public libraries. It describes capturing narratives from library users to identify key characters, issues, behaviors, and needs. Workshops were held to generate anecdotes from users, which were then grouped into archetypes, themes, and values. This information aims to help libraries understand user expectations for services, content, and virtual interaction. The goal is to identify priority requirements for specific user groups represented by personas.

CEEED May 24 2023.pdf
The document discusses ensuring ethical AI and evaluating new technologies like ChatGPT. It makes four main points:
1. We often judge innovative technologies through the lens of the past instead of what they aim to be.
2. We should consider ethical implications but not make premature judgments based on speculation.
3. ChatGPT is not like search engines and should be viewed as a potential guide or co-pilot rather than just for retrieval.
4. New technologies should be explored to understand their capabilities and limitations before making judgments in order to help shape development in an ethical manner.
CEEED May 24 2023.pptx
This document discusses ensuring ethical AI and summarizes a presentation about ChatGPT. It makes the following key points:
1. When innovative technologies emerge, we often try to understand them through outdated lenses rather than considering what they are attempting to be.
2. New AI tools like ChatGPT should be evaluated based on their own merits as conversational assistants rather than compared to previous technologies like search engines.
3. While considering ethical implications, judgment should not be made too soon based on speculation alone. We should attempt to be part of shaping new technologies responsibly.
