This Year’s Trends
Discovery Services get real
The end of content siloes based on physical formats
Move beyond academic market
Answers the question of ‘where’s the answer’ (not what)
LinkedData
Next generation content linking architecture
It’s not about library to library but library in the broader
content eco-system (and it’s not about text first)
Privacy vs. Big Data
What am I reading?
What am I searching?
Who do I know?
Encryption hits the naiveté
of libraryland
Living our values needs structure in the digital world . . .
Some Thoughts on Libraries, Ethics, and Privacy

Emerging END of the Web
As we know it . . .
eBooks –the next step
eMagazines – the next step
Streaming: the next step
STEM, STEAM, and more
3D is just a start
Digital creation is the real trend
Beyond objects, Moving pictures, streaming, games,
apps,
Code as play . . . Minecraft
Learning: the next step
Lesson based eco-systems
Learning Flow not inputs/outputs but outcomes/process
Broadband
Temporary Swiss cheese
Bad access won’t protect library land
The ’access’ benefit is very temporary and mere
gossamer
Batteries
Along with frictionless recharging . . . furniture
Motion based charging
Blood pump charging
Wearable charging . . .
Smart everything
Internet of Things . . . IoT
Trillions!
Smart Books
Non-fiction first the transformative and multifaceted
And textbooks that aren’t actual books.
Fluid books
Smart video
Immersive
Tests
Interactivity
Watching you watching me
Malleable
Smart rooms
And smart classrooms
Rooms that learn
Mobile aware and ultimately ‘face’ aware.
From mobile-aware to
Aware Mobile
Wearables
Wearables that learn
iPhone apps (watch medical and Fitbit fads
Surveillance Society
Hmmmmm . . .
These are
Millennials
Nota Bene
You’re also dealing with post-
Millennials and they’re very
different
And the same
The Big Picture
Change is just starting to increase
The education sector is a target (follow the money)
Community context in technology is based in maps and
more (and that affects public libraries and all public spaces
and institutions.)
The Role for
Libraries and
Librarians
It’s different . . .
And the same
Student vs. Learner
Education vs. Learning
Lifelong is a lifelong trend
Quality Filter
Information fluency . . .
21st Century Learning
Based on research, demographics and need
This isn’t a fad – whether politics renames it or not.
Critical Thinking
Creative thinking
Information, digital literacies
Sanctuary/ies
21st Century fluencies
STEM, STEAM and the real
issue
National competitiveness
Silly focus on manufacturing and 20th Century
measurements (GDP)
Beyond 3R’s
3R’s are solidified by Grade 4 at the latest and then the
interventions happen
Beyond grade 4 we build thinkers, creators, and build on
their natural talents – to each his/her own
Real Issues
Technology
Scalability
Multiple intelligences / learning styles
Costs and impact
Training
Alignment
Equity
Real Issues
Students – boys and girls
Engagement – dropouts, fun, boredom.
Success
Employment and workplace or Higher-Ed readiness
Changing Education
 Flipped classroom
 E-Textbooks and coursepacks
 eLearning and digital learning environments are
proven successes
 Online high schools rising
 MOOCs
 Distance education
 Learning modules
 Blended learning
Special Skills and Tools
Addressing:
Learning differences
Disability spectrum is about different abilities not disabilities
Behavioural differences
Intelligence- especially top and challenged learners
