LiB on Stepen Abram’s keynote at 2020 Vision Conference 2006 July 12
The Librarian in Black has a post on her blog about Stephen Abram’s keynote on serving digital natives at the 2020 Vision Conference: Idaho Library Challenges of the Future. It is an interesting post on Abrahm’s thoughts on the future of the library. I’m not really sure I agree with all of Abraham’s views, but it is an interesting read. One thing that stood out to me was the part about Information Literacy. LiB wrote “[Abrams] talked about how our users want to find not search. We offers search skills class, but not finding skills classes. Teaching “information literacy” classes are worse–asking people to acknowledge a form of illiteracy. ” I never really thought about that, but it is an interesting point. Maybe we need to rethink about that term. Anyway, if you are interested in thinking about the library of the future, read the post.
