Traditional Library Supported:
• We’re talking about change here• So let’s try something new (to me)
New Directions:
Where we’re going:(Tod Colegrove, Ph.D., MSLIS dstl@unr.edu, @pcolegrove)
Text from proposal:“Actively redefining the library from a quiet warehouse
into a lively place of learning, technological engagement, and knowledge production, the emerging technologies working group of the library is leveraging in-person connections with students and faculty to build vibrant collaborative communities around a deliberately expanded conception of the library collection.”
In other words…
“Be where the conversation is.”1

What exactly is “the collection”?

Where’s the conversation?

What is “technology” anyway?
“The word technelogos is nominally Greek. When the ancient Greeks used the word techne, it meant something like art, skill, craft, or even craftiness…it was in Aristotle’s treatise Rhetoric that the word
techne was first joined to logos(meaning word or speech or literacy)to yield the single term technelogos.”
Itself a technology:
Even Displays!“Little Boy – the device”
Inspired by the movieDr. Strangelove…
An electric vehicle built for the Burning Man festival…
That’s a conversation starter.
Serious engagement…
