Tame The Web: Libraries and Technology: Ten Tech Trends for Librarians 2007

So here’s this year’s list, with a new name: “Trends” instead of “Things.” Sure it puts a finer point on it but it also recognizes the changes in my thinking about the essential duties of librarians:

Learn to Learn
Adapt to Change
Scan the Horizon

As we carry out or essential mission of service, stewardship and access, I really want folks in libraries to be able to watch the horizon for trends — and I told the group that in Toronto: “We can all be trendspotters. We can all watch for trends that impact not only the profession but our specfic communities and user groups.” Please ponder these and let me know what you think.
