Towards Rubicon

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Turn and face the strange

You, after my talk

To embrace the change

and face the strange

we need to ask the right questions

What’s the purpose

of higher education?

What changes

effects higher education?

Which challenges and opputunities does these

changes bring?

To which challenges and oppotunities in higer

education is The Library the answer?

Screw the burning platform! Hail the burning ambition!

Ask yourself:

Are you in the saving libraries business?

Or in the supporting

higher education business?

So why are we here?

So why are we here?

To make higher education succeed.

(Not Libraries)

A better world?

The Monessen / Pittsburgh case

Game changers

in higher education

Learn them to catch fish

Don’t catch fish for them Learn them to catch fish

Don’t only focus on your own catalog

Go beyond your own catalog

Embed

Support a learning culture Not only ressources for learning

Space

Are we making libraries for books? Or libraries for people?

Common ground

Interdisiplinary Lack of evaluation and authority

Supporting student success

The librarian

The most important asset of any library goes home at night – the

library staff - Timothy Healy

Librarianship is not neutral

An example on how to turn and face the strange:

Digital Social Science Lab Faculty Library of Social Sciences,

Copenhagen University Library

An open platform for education and events on digital methods

Hardware and software for harvesting, cleaning,

analyzing and visualizing data

A dynamic and aesthetically inspiring learning environment

The library as hub: Community and peer-to-peer

Flexibility Functionality

Inspiration

AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRADITIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

An alternative to the classic learning setup

Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Nom nom

Culture eats strategy for breakfast Nom nom

If you want to die, isolate If you want to live, collaborate

Tell your library story

Everybody is an ambassador

Find valid methods for measuring impact and make better libraries

A Danish Library Impact Report Results from Roskilde University Library

The Library is a part of

something bigger

See the bigger picture

Never waist a good crisis

The Library is nothing without people

Diversity is king! It’s the mix of people that

makes a great library

Leadership and direction

See you on the other side of Rubicon Never forget to face the strange Christian Lauersen [email protected] @clauersen https://christianlauersen.net
