Being adaptable in a flat world, knowing how to learn how to learn, will be one of the most important assets any worker can have, because job churn will come faster, because innovation will happen faster, writes Thomas Friedman in The World Is Flat.

Every time people really like something, we get rid

of it.

Weve always done it this way.

I want to replace all librarians with tech people with great customer service skills and teaching ability. I want the library to have its own genius bar.

A New Generation of Learners



An evolving relationship with mobile technology.


For many people, cell phones have become an extension of themselves, fully incorporated into the rhythm of their lives.

http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Cell-Activities.aspx


Unplugging suggests that the selves we are online arent authentic, and that the relationships that we forge in digital spaces arent meaningful. This is odd, because some of our closest friends and most significant professional connections are people weve only ever met on the Internet.

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2014/03/the-pointlessness-of-unplugging.html


I want to take away the iPad and send them outside. They are not in the moment.

http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2014/06/opinion/michael-stephens/in-the-moment-office-hours


danah boyd notes that most teens are not compelled by gadgetry as such they are compelled by friendship. The gadgets are interesting to them primarily as a means to a social end.


People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want to.

Learning Everywhere

Play is the basis for cultivating imagination and innovation. Thomas & Brown


Hyperlinked library services are born from the constant, positive, and purposeful adaptation to change that is based on thoughtful planning and grounded in the mission of libraries.

Hyperlinks are people too.


The library helps people make sense of the world.

Great potential


A library offers its users online and in person courses with content from community experts.

Librarians support learners in our spaces and online as they create and connect.

Great realities

Across all types of libraries, the librarian as community learning connector might support learners on platforms that offer endless opportunities.


Its a call to arms to continue thinking strategically about our spaces, our services, and learning.
