A New Generation of Learners


The world of work is increasingly collaborative, driving changes in the way student projects are structured.


People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want to.


Learning everywhere.

What happens to learning when we move from the stable infrastructure of the twentieth century to the fluid infrastructure of the twenty-first century....?”


“...it is a platform to share and network imaginations.”

“The world is changing faster than ever and our skill sets have a shorter life.”

Preserving a community’s digital heritage is the work of both libraries and museums, but involving the community in these efforts is imperative as we move forward.

The future?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/6760135001

Communications technology continues to change and connectthe world.

This is desired and leveraged.



Mobile technology access will be ubiquitous. Our “world” travels with us. Libraries & librarians are present and available everywhere we go.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/dokdelft/5283163908

The library is a community hub. Flexible, open and connected. Meeting place. Anything space.


Helping users create, curate and share their own digital content/creations/story is the norm.


The library uses the latest technology to make strong connections: between individuals, groups and the world. Knowledge flows. Planning is human-centered.



http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulwatson/4148536/

Opportunities to learn spread from the central hub - to everywhere!
