Where do libraries fit into that future of knowledge?
Where do libraries fit into that future of knowledge?
• Make knowledge personal• Foster group, participation, and cultivated knowledge in instruction sessions• Enable study groups • Study groups not just face to face but via Facebook, Adobe Connect, etc. • Cultivate inquisitiveness• Create collectives of learning• The library is enabling moments of encounter• The library is helping enable paths of inquiry• Develop critical reasoning • We’re more important than ever because we can figure out this information “on the fly”

Goals of “Library on Demand”
• Supplement existing in-person, email, and telephonic (not
eliminate) library research instruction outreach to remote locations.
• Use multi-channel instructional technologies to optimize
outreach activities, reaching larger numbers of students, “on demand” when instruction is desired but library faculty resources are constrained by physical distance and budget limitations.
• Use multi-channel communication and technologies to optimize student learning modality preferences and differences.
