What are you doing?


What are you LEARNING?


The Hyperlinked Librarian builds a thriving, evolving PLN...sharing & participating.


This is continuous learning.


Then we teach everyone how to do it...


...how do we make sense of our world?

What should we do?


Willing to learn.


Willing to explore...


inside & outside our world.


Willing to listen and engage.


Willing to leave our physical walls.

Going forward...

The future?


Communications technology continues to change and connectthe world.

This is desired and leveraged.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/darwinbell/3196413626/

Mobile technology access will be ubiquitous. Our “world” travels with us. Libraries & librarians are present and available everywhere we go.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/dokdelft/5283163908

The library is a community hub. Flexible, open and connected. Meeting place. Anything space.


Helping users create, curate and share their own digital content/creations/story is the norm.


The library uses the latest technology to make strong connections: between individuals, groups and the world. Knowledge flows. Planning is human-centered.



http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulwatson/4148536/

Opportunities to learn spread from the central hub - to everywhere!
