Mobile Society Business Process: • Dispersed production, storage, and
controlling units and global workforce• Outsourcing for cost efficient operations• Involving customer in operations
(self-service systems)
• Knowledge generation, assimilation and coordination functions are themselves mobile and selectively outsourced
• Mobility of information, ideas, knowledge and experience helps the decision-making

Mobile Society (2) Education and Training: • Remote or e-learning where the learner,
teacher and administration are located far apart (driven by ICT software products like Blackboard, WebCT, and Lotus Learning Space creating virtual learning environment)
• The EDUSAT is facilitating this process in India
• Teleconferencing and Webinars used for the conduct of training and mentoring

Reengineered Library Support • Library where information is converted in
the digital form, stored in multimedia repositories and supplied by digital means
• e-mobile library providing services on the 24/7 basis and that too in the personalised manner (on the PDA or mobile phone)
• library becoming a learning organisation which promotes learning at the workplace for its staff in variety of ways

New Age Services Instructing ‘invisible’ library user who
remotely accesses information Developing best practices for the Web
and information searching to minimise the information overload and anxiety
Imparting information literacy covering library literacy, media literacy, computer literacy, internet literacy, research literacy and critical thinking
Promoting e-learning and e-research

Knowledge for Enablement Distinctiveness: knowledge makes a
difference Invariance: knowledge is unfailing over a
large set of conditions Usefulness: knowledge helps to achieve the
set goals Coherence: knowledge has suitable links
with the existing knowledge Formality: knowledge can be formally
expressed and communicated Conformity: knowledge is largely acceptable
across the enterprise Authority: knowledge is trustworthy
![Page 8: Perspectives on role of the library in the emerging wisdom society](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55519f9db4c9053c488b4a49/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Knowledge Society CoreKnowledge Processing & Organisation:• Knowledge involves action matching the
context and upheld by others• Produces new knowledge through innovation
and its conversion into productive use • Shift from knowledge extraction to knowledge
modelling for integrating implicit and explicit knowledge
• Use of knowledge modelling techniques like CommonKADS, Protégé 2000, and Unified Modelling Language (UML) with its attendant Object Constraint Language (OCL)
![Page 9: Perspectives on role of the library in the emerging wisdom society](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55519f9db4c9053c488b4a49/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Knowledge Society & Library • Heightened Competition
(Library support to provide knowledge edge)
• Downsizing of Organizations (Library as an institutional memory)
• Increasing Complexities (Records management by the library)
• Emerging New Opportunities (Evaluation of options by the library)
![Page 10: Perspectives on role of the library in the emerging wisdom society](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55519f9db4c9053c488b4a49/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Knowledge Society & Library (2)
• Professional Approach (Supply of norms & standards by the library)
• Transparency & Accountability (Tracking the disclosed information)
• Right to Information (Collect, collate & present information)
• Self-Renewal (Library upgraded to the Knowledge Centre)
![Page 11: Perspectives on role of the library in the emerging wisdom society](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/55519f9db4c9053c488b4a49/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Elements of Wisdom 1. Highest expression of self-development
and future consciousness2. Cognitive process probing deeply the
information and knowledge3. A virtue or socially valued pattern of
behaviour that is by and large welcome 4. A personal good which is desirable
state or condition of mind leading to rewarding experience for the individual
5. Ethical values guiding the actions

Wisdom Society Features Local and global issues will have higher
interdependence (e.g. optimal use of natural resources, waste disposal and environmental quality)
Actions will utilise the latest technological products, processed knowledge and incorporate wider societal concerns
Every citizen will be required to act wisely (i.e. with utmost social responsibility)
Co-habiting with advanced multi-functional robots and nanotechnology & bioinformatics products

Wisdom Society Features (2)
All systems will be far more accountable in addition to being efficient and effective
Wisdom, like knowledge, would become an object of well defined study and practice and treated as a manageable resource
Openness is welcome by constantly incorporating new ideas and innovation
Learning, experience accumulation and wisdom development are closely linked

Learning Evolution
[shift in learning from action to method to knowledge assimilation]
[ICT can restore the lost aspects of learning]
Facilities for universal dialogue, virtual learning, second life enactment, scenario building, information envisioning and options evaluation do enrich the learning{

Library Contribution • Reducing information poverty• Promoting archival intelligence to handle
primary sources of information (extending records management techniques)
• Enhancing trust of online information and allied systems
• Facilitating establishment of both online and offline ‘communities of practices’
• Adoption of the ‘value sensitive design’ (VSD) approaches to introduce human values in information system operations

LIS Preparations Periodic research-based studies to cover: • changing user needs, • information seeking behaviour, • information consolidation & interchange, • information surfeit, • knowledge application, • incorporation of ethical aspects, • machine-mediated dealings, and• organisation of material and services to
move towards ‘ubiquitous library’

In the forthcoming wisdom society too the library would play a pivotal role with focused services and broader perspective
