The OpportunityThe Opportunity
To choose our future and create it, not be victims of a juggernaut.
Let’s not compete with Google, Bing and Facebook!
Let’s complement them based on our strengths and their weaknesses.
The last few times I did this with Roy Tennant, Gary Price, etc. we missed key disruptions . . .

Principles
Access means putting knowledge anywhere and everywhere it will be found & used by our customers.Understand the difference between physical access and intellectual access
![Page 9: Ala virtual july2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/547c1782b4af9fe12e8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Principles
Collaboration is- the keystone of Knowledge,- it requires that we partner with users,- outcome driven – it’s the way the client uses & shares- crosses and blurs lines
![Page 11: Ala virtual july2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/547c1782b4af9fe12e8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Principles
Libraries are a Learning Environment- it learns from itself – the question economy survives- it absorbs & adapts – product, content and structure- it provides a learning imperative economic advantage
![Page 13: Ala virtual july2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/547c1782b4af9fe12e8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Principles: Our bread and butter
We deliver the …..So What …-We understand how and why knowledge fits -We can explain what it means and contextualize it-We should know why & how users interact and learn
![Page 15: Ala virtual july2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/547c1782b4af9fe12e8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
-We’ve got it
-We can get it
-We know how to deliver it

Principles …..More Bread and Butter• We have it• We can deliver it• We know how to use it• We can organize it so it fits user’s needs and context
![Page 17: Ala virtual july2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/547c1782b4af9fe12e8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Libraries
•Informing, Learning, Sharing, Discovering, Socializing…

Principles
• Research is one of the pieces but not all of them• Note that books is a minor (but still critical) piece• Respect all forms of knowledge• It takes all of the pieces to complete the puzzle
![Page 20: Ala virtual july2012](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052504/547c1782b4af9fe12e8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Principles
So, let’s focus on the experience that is needed not the one we feel comfortable with the most.Our goal is to deliver ……….

How do library databases and virtual services compare with other web experiences?
Who are our core virtual users? Are there gaps? Does learning happen? How about discovery? What are user expectations for true satisfaction? How does library search compare to consumer
search like Google and retail or government? How do people find and connect with library virtual
services? Are end users being successful in their POV? What are the stories of the impact of library
experiences? Are they happy? Will they come back? Tell a friend?
