Seth Godin on Decisions (June 8, 2011)
o Which of the four are getting in the way?o You don't know what to doo You don't know how to do ito You don't have the authority or the resources to
do ito You're afraido Once you figure out what's getting in the way,
it's far easier to find the answer (or decide to work on a different problem).
o Stuck is a state of mind, and it's curable.

Questions for Libraries Today:
1. Are our priorities right?2. Are learning, research, discovery changing
materially and what is actually changing?3. Books. Meh.4. What is the role for librarians in the real
future (that is not an extension of the past)?

What has changed?
End UsersPhysical access and basic reading has already
evolved to intellectual access with new competencies
Libraries at the heart of the campus? Nope. Students are focused at the lesson and event
(essay, test, exam) level Researchers are connected beyond the host
institution.

What do we need to know?
How do library databases and virtual services compare with other web experiences?
Who are our core virtual users? Are there gaps? Does learning happen? How about discovery? What are user expectations for true satisfaction? How does library search compare to consumer
search like Google and retail or government? How do people find and connect with library virtual
services? Are end users being successful in their POV? Are they happy? Will they come back? Tell a friend?
