The document summarizes Stephen Abram's presentation on the imperative for libraries to collaborate in an era of rapid technological change. Key points include: - The internet has progressed into an era where users expect on-demand access to information from any device. - Traditional models of publishing, education and research are being disrupted by new formats, social media, and user expectations of real-time access. - Libraries must embrace collaboration, understand user needs, and continuously innovate their services, operations and metrics to remain relevant institutions in this new environment.
