“It’s the end of the world as we know it(And I feel fine).”~R.E.M.
Its just the beginning
• ―I believe that we are at the threshold. But just at the very threshold—the very beginning. The incunabula period of the digital age.‖

Out, Dorthea Salo. http://vimeo.com/20019850
• Broaden you scope
• It’s the relationships/services, not the stuff.
Service Turn―Defining distinctive services with the clarity with which
we have defined distinctive collections allows us to
acknowledge that the 21st century will be marked by
different, but equally valid, definitions of excellence in
academic libraries, and that the manner in which
individual libraries demonstrate excellence will be
distinctive to the service needs, and to the
opportunities to address those needs, found on each
campus.‖Scott Walter. ―Distinctive Signifiers of Excellence‖: Library Services and
the Future of the Academic Library. Coll. & res. libr. January 2011 72:6-

Please don’t hire an
E-research Librarian*…(or a data librarian,
e-science librarian, etc.)
Data & Local Content is everyone’s Job.
Libraries or Librarianship?
• Its not about the
books(info containers)
• We need to choose:
the building or the
communities ?
• A degree does not
define us
It’s our mission
• The Mission of Librarians is to Improve Society
through Facilitating Knowledge Creation in
their CommunitiesR. David Lankes

A Commons
• We are a community,
• Permeable borders
• Room at the table for everyone
• logical places for a broad range of services and resources

The snark• Bad behavior on the
Commons
• Detrimental to open
community development
• Symptom of fear and anxiety

Vulnerability
• ―the courage to show up and allow ourselves to be
seen‖ – Dr. Brene Brown
• Open to bug reportso Feedback is a function of respect
• Admitting a vulnerability, builds strength &
trust, culture of shared struggle/ experience
Its time to be Brave

Creatives & Makers
#GenFlux: FastCompany
• mind-set that embraces instability, that tolerates — and even enjoys — recalibrating careers, business models and assumptions.
• psychographic not a demographic
• leaders listen loudly, engage kindly, and add value enthusiastically.
• Results-only work environment (ROWE) = where employees are evaluated on performance, not presence
