Impact on KB

* Change of focus from visitors onsite to visitorsonline
* Time spent on copyright issues and digital rightsmanagement has grown significantly
* Patron-driven acquisition means we collect referenceworks for use not for preservation
* Increased focus on value and efficiency

Increased focus on value
Value of services in relation to:
- Demand (Who’ll be happy if we do this?)

A Library = a library = a library?
Similarity in form does not mean similarity in function:
• Public libraries: focus on community value
• Research libaries: focus on supporting research
• Business libaries: focus on supporting business
• National libraries: focus on archiving national heritage

A book = a book = a book?
Similarity in form does not mean similarity in function:
• Reference works
• Fiction
• Picturebooks (cookery books)
- For most types of research hard copy books will become obsolete
- For reading it depends on usability of devices

Knowledge is key to the future
* Know what makes you unique
* Stay curious about what’s happening around you
* Combine these two to find your best road ahead
* Once you’ve chosen it, don’t choose another too soon
* It’s not about the technology but about the value for your users
* Don’t try to predict the future, but make sure you can adapt to it.
