• Examples of B&W discussions
• These can sometimes lack professional perspectives, be politically dogmatic and belief driven, and use metaphors symbolic of death~!
• E-books versus Physical Books• Textbooks – eTextbooks - Coursepacks – Learning Objects• Open access versus Proprietary Content• Free versus Fee• Business Models versus Social Models• Apple versus Microsoft PC• Desktop vs. Laptop vs. Tablet vs. Phone vs. Phablets• Privacy and Confidentiality
• Make no mistake. I’m not saying the discussions are wrong or taking sides, I just think professionals see colours and shades of gray.

Finding the BIG TRENDS
1. Follow the money and the market opportunity . . . equity and venture capital
2. Watch the consumer market first for devices, behaviours, entertainment . . . e.g. ringtones
3. Watch the rest of the world4. Who stands to lose? Win? (cataloguers, systems,
metadata . . .)5. What is on the fringes? (e.g. eBay and cars)6. Think clearly about price, scalability and
penetration.
7. “I spy with my little eye… something that is . . .”

So what am I spying . . .?
From a School Library focus• Global learning and publishing investments• Online high schools (Gale Cengage, Stanford)• Devices are markets (CleverU and Newmindsets)• E-Learning (Blackboard, D2L, Moodle, ...)• MOOCs (Almost 18 months of EdX, Udacity, Coursera)• Learning and Experience Portals as classrooms (Khan) • What is happening with the textbook?• New business models (big data models...)• Discovery trumping Search• Non-Text: Video, audio, read-speak, etc.• Search Tuning – Lexiles, sentiment, visual, semantic,
Sciencescape• Advanced stuff – 3D printing, gamification, …• Partnerships, alliances, mergers, on the state and national level

Definitions
• Discovery• Search – known item retrieval• Topical or Subject Search• Research• Immersive Learning• Assembly• Two step discovery: discover, searching, finding,
use• The pressure is ON for librarians to scale up
their information fluency and experience curation initiatives
![Page 45: Memo oct2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5455be1bb1af9fc0638b4a7a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What are the real issues?• Craft versus Industrial Strength• Personal service only when there’s impact• Automated personalization and archiving• Pilot, Project, Initiative versus Portfolio Strategy• Hand-knitted prototypes versus Production• e.g. Information Literacy initiatives• Discovery versus Search versus Deep Search• eLearning units• Citation and information ethics• Repository and content archipelagos
• Strategic Analytics• Value & Impact Measures, Behaviours, Satisfaction
• Policy, economic and strategic alignment

mean?

So what do you do as both an educator and librarian?
• Scale up! Statewide and nationwide (a la OCLC)• Understand deeply the research on genome, behaviours,
learning styles, child and teen development, brain research . . . In the digital context.
• Develop your skill portfolio as a team instead of individuals and do both your attitudes and aptitudes
• Avoid LONE WOLF syndrome

Build (some examples)
• Online teaching skills• Online learning skills• LMS MOOC development skills• Teamwork competencies• Partnership competencies (and not just not-for-profit)• Your sacrificing skills• Priority-setting and Milestone skills• Cooperation and Collaboration skills• Culture of Trials and Experiments “always in beta”• Assessment skills and data analysis in a digital age.• Advocacy and influencing skills
