5 questions for librarians as they confront change
1. What is the future of knowledge?- Created? Disseminated?
2. What is the future of reference expertise?- Literacy? Search?
3. What is the future of public technology? - Knowledge containers? Divides? Access/lending models?
4. What is the future of learning spaces? - Collaboration? Alliances? Ownership?
5. What is the future of community anchor institutions?- Knowledge economy/ecology?

Back to those 5 questions: How librarians can be even
more valuable in the digital age
![Page 14: PewInternet.org Networked libraries serving networked patrons Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Internet Project 04.19.2012 Biblionext: Rome Email: Lrainie@pewinternet.orgLrainie@pewinternet.org](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f155503460f94c2a4d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1) What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Knowledge is objective and
certain
Old: Learning as transaction
Knowledge is subjective and
provisional
![Page 15: PewInternet.org Networked libraries serving networked patrons Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Internet Project 04.19.2012 Biblionext: Rome Email: Lrainie@pewinternet.orgLrainie@pewinternet.org](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051417/56649f155503460f94c2a4d8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1) What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Learners receive knowledge
Old: Learning as transaction
Learners create knowledge

1) What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
We learn best passively, by listening and
watching
Old: Learning as transaction
We learn best actively doing and managing
our own learning

1) What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Our “intelligence” is based on our
individual abilities
Old: Learning as transaction
Our “intelligence” is based on
our social networks

2) What is the future of reference expertise?
“Embedded librarian” in learning communities• Librarian as scout for relevant material• Reviewer and synthesizer• Organizer and taxonomy creator• “On call” for just-in-time information• Organizational “steward” of bonding capital• Organizational “steward” of bridging capital
(especially to outside experts)

2) What is the future of reference expertise?
“Knowledge concierge/valet” in learning communities• Librarian as teacher of social media• Librarian as fact checker, transparency assessor,
relevance arbiter• Librarian as aggregator and curator – follow Jeff
Jarvis rule: “Do what you do best, and link to the rest”
• Librarian as “node” in networks attuned to perpetual learning

Themes• iPhone, iPhone, iPhone• Innovation ecosystem will change: bandwidth / processing• Still, there are basic trends evident now and some
groundwork that has been in place for years that will yield innovation. – The internet of things - sensors proliferate– Mobile connectivity and location-based services grow– Interface changes: Bigger/thinner screens -- 3D displays– “Consolidated,” all-purpose gadgets and apps

4) What is the future of learning spaces?
Attuned to networked individuals/learners • More self directed, less top-down • Better arrayed to capture new information inputs• More reliant on feedback and response• More inclined to collaboration • More open to cross discipline insights and creating
their own “tagged” taxonomies• More oriented towards people being their own
individual nodes of production
