My Humble Recommendations
Focus on the user, I mean really Pilot and experiment with mobile social cohorts Classes (mobile training or extended learning) Reading cohorts and book clubs Member, Researcher and Learner driven strategies first Associations, Consortia and Collaboratives Fundraising Reorganize for simplicity and flexibility Teams (business or sport)
![Page 51: Maine directors](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546cbbfab4af9f662c8b5208/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
My Humble Recommendations
Actively lobby and educate to ensure that the emerging mobile ecosystem supports the values and principles of librarianship for balance in the rights of end users for use, access, learning and research.
Support vendors and laws to be as agnostic as possible by ensuring that, as far as possible your services and content offerings support the widest range of devices, formats, browsers, and platforms.
![Page 52: Maine directors](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546cbbfab4af9f662c8b5208/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
eLearning, Mobile, Distant, Virtual
Tools
Get to where the user is.
![Page 53: Maine directors](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546cbbfab4af9f662c8b5208/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
My Humble Recommendations
Design for frictionless access using such opportunities as geo-IP and mobile ready websites
Test everything in all browsers – mobile or not – all devices.
Invest in usability research aimed at the user experience and test and learn from it and share your learning.
Don’t prioritize the librarian experience first Watch key developments in major publishing spaces
– retail, video, kiddy lit, textbooks, e-learning, fiction, etc. Spot the differences and opportunities

My Personal Hobby Horses
This is an evolution not a revolution The REAL revolution was the Internet and the Web. The hybrid ecology is winning in the near term for
operating systems and content formats. This is good since competition drives innovation and
we’re in a Renaissance not an end game right now. Engage in critical thinking not raw criticism. Be
constructive. Critical thinking is not part of dogma or religious fervor
or fan boy behavior.
![Page 55: Maine directors](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546cbbfab4af9f662c8b5208/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
My Personal Hobby Horses
This is an evolution not a revolution Perfectionism will not move us forward at this
juncture. Really understand the digital divide and remove your
economic and social class blinkers Get real about teens and Boomers Get over library obsession with statistics and
comprehensiveness. Get excellent at real measurements, sampling and
understanding impact and satisfaction. (Analytics, Foresee, Pew)

My Personal Hobby Horses
This is an evolution not a revolution We need to revisit the concept of preservation,
archives, repositories, and conservation from an access and linked data view.
Check out new publishing models like Flipboard.
Watch for emerging book enhancements and other features that will challenge library metadata, selection policies, preservation, and collection development.
