For 600 years the academic library has

• Guaranteed the organized , delivery and preservation of printed and other content

• Provided a staff trained to support the learning, teaching and research needs and output of the university and community

• Offered an agreed schedule in which services are available

• Ensured the physical facilities necessary to support this

Then it all began to change

Seismic change

• Rising costs

• Viable alternatives in an information and networked environment on a scale no library could compete with

• Declining usage – nobody starts their search in the library building, and very few from the library website

• Generational shifts and different demands

Right here with meStudents “talk” through homework with their handheld devices, which issue alerts when passing a bookstore with material they need to cite. Scanning the title page, this information is instantly embedded in proper citation style with an added endnote. Checking in on location-based services, students locate study team members and hold impromptu meetings without the need for study rooms. Their devices have whiteboards and can share notes with absent members. http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/issues/value/futures2025.pdf

Exploit the crisis and experiment

• We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We have a great brand, now all we have to do is evolve it into the 21st century.

• Letting that fear take priority can hold ourselves and our institutions back

• Manage our resistance to change and direct it towards the critical application of new skills


Get out from behind the desk to combat disintermediation

• User engagement - go where they are• Join the conversation and figure out how to

wrrk with them and help users find what they want to find

• Create new, added-value distinctive services that have an impact on library users and library usage

• Be a content provider not just supplier • local responsiveness – embed the library

• And remember …face and place do matter and they do affect satisfaction ratings
