It’s simple really, shift happens, gedoverit
• Users & Communities will continue to be diverse in the extreme• Expectations around timeliness will increase• We will have a foot in both camps for many, many years to come: digital
and physical• Content will (is already) be dominated by non-text (gamification, 3D,
visual, music, video, audio, etc.)• Search will explode with options and one-step, one box search is for
dummies• The single purpose anchored device is dead as a target environment• Devices will focus on social, collaboration, sharing, multimedia, creation
and successful library strategies will 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
• E-Learning, collections and metadata will go to the cloud massively

Libraries are about learning and building communities
