Dear Colleagues
This comes highly recommended and very much worth the 60 minutes (or so) the audio and slides take.
From R.David Lankes
"The Bad, The Good, and The Great" Keynote Academic Librarians 2012, Syracuse, NY.
Abstract: Bad libraries build collections; good libraries build services (after all a collection is only one type of service); great libraries build communities. In a time of great change and challenges to the very model of higher education, libraries must move beyond a focus on collections to a focus on communities. As new models of instruction (flipped classrooms, inquiry based instruction, etc.) and research emerge (interdisciplinary, large scale, collaborative, data driven), libraries find themselves well positioned – but only if they see their strongest assets as the librarians, not the materials librarians have organized. This talk will look to a new librarianship that moves past artifacts to knowledge and sets a new path.
