2017
Librarians are more relevant than ever. We have no good reason to be on the
defense and every reason to take the offensive. Conversation in our
field is fraught with too much navel gazing and not enough looking at
external evidence that many things are going well. We share too many
stories about the bad stuff and too rarely share the successes. Yet we
are an adaptive profession. Positive change is our tradition; let’s talk
about that!....
An Industrial Revolution for libraries
I love following the folks who are involved in the Startup Library
mentality: the ability to grasp and engage in an emerging culture for
librarianship focused on change, innovation, experimentation and finding
the future. While some worry about a continuing malaise in our field
where the stories are all bad and we’re all doomed, I choose to focus on
indications of positive, transformational change.
