LEAPMOTION EM

LIBRARIES AS SILOS OF IMPACT AND CHANGE? How do we impact users of technology? • How do we guide toward awareness of privacy issues and the impact of • “big data”? How do we incorporate new technology into our libraries and • communities? EM

• Google currently works with data at the petabyte scale – a million gigabytes! • Libraries interpret and provide structure for all that data • In an overwhelming world, Librarians are the niche for training and understanding an overload of data • Libraries collaborating to create apps vs. relying on vendors? Are Libraries “pivoting” when needed? *Flickr - “Game Neverending ” The Library’s KEY to staying relevant is: 1. either an irreplaceable niche market OR 2. multi-platform that appeals across multiple markets and generations EM

OPEN SOURCE & OPEN LIBRARY ENVIRONMENT • Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) - An Extensible Service-Driven Library Management System (Academic Libraries) • University of Chicago • Duke University • A direct result of ILS vendors no longer responding directly to academic library’s request for modification to address library database, content delivery, and circulation needs. EM

WEARABLES Smart Watches • Google Glass • Fitbits • Cicret • Apple Watch • Wearable tech sales are up 133% from last year – International Data Corporation Even if we don’t use them… we have to support them! (Connectivity to Wifi/Internet • and charging stations) EM

AS COMMUNICATION NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS CHANGE, ARE WE ADAPTING(PIVOTING) TO MEET THOSE CHANGES? (MEETING THE USER WHERE THEY ARE AT – SMARTPHONE, TWITTER, THE WORLD WIDE COMPUTER) EM DH
