  6. Imagine alibrary that was everywhere in your local community, rather than shut up inside a single building. What informs the Library of 2030? Rather than chase technology; Provide the platform that shapes the culture of information.

  7. Communities of Contributors – Communities of Practice Re-think passive reception of information Kevin Kelly Rethinking the space of Libraries

  8. CONCLUSIONS & CONSIDERATIONS The myths to which we hold tightly 1. Structure vs. Flexibility We are limited by our formal procedural processes - Professions, Accreditation, Reviews, Advisory, etc - > limitations are invented internally (“blind fields”, e.g., workloads); Rather than FOLLOW, we should aim to LEAD industry. Let’s just take it slow so we can test things out… > slow is not a substitute for strategy. Part-timers from practice don’t understand “our culture”… > experimentation...and MISTAKES…are part of learning process; is “our culture” short-term or long-term? > …and why is “our culture” that is so hard understand?

  9. CONCLUSIONS & CONSIDERATIONS The myths to which we hold tightly 2. Business vs. Service We need an ethic of volunteerism; We are, after all, a public service… > Practice-based education is a business that provides a service. Why isn’t government or institutional policy providing stronger leadership?… > Education personal NOT an aggregate affair; Individual educators need to lead; Administration should not. Students “deserve”… > Students choose training to become profitable; Our aim is to make them as profitable as we possibly can, IN ORDER TO ATTRACT new students.

  10. CONCLUSIONS & CONSIDERATIONS The myths to which we hold tightly 3. Practice vs. Academia RESEACH GEARED TOWARDS INNOVATION (ACTIVE), LEADS PRACTICE RESEARCH THAT “LOOKS AT STUFF” (PASSIVE) CANNOT LEAD PRACTICE A mix is okay – 70/30? – What is the culture of our academic practice?
