“One of the biggest flaws in the common conception of the future is that the future is something that happens to us, not something we create.”

“A week’s worth of the New York Times contains more information than the average seventeenth-century citizen encountered in a lifetime.”… “In the year 2013, the human race is generating five exabytes of information every 10 minutes.”

“Ipv6 has enough room for 340 trillion, trillion, trillion unique addresses, roughly 50,000 trillion, trillion addresses per person.”

“Many young people will never own a traditional PC, the phone/tablet is all

they’ll need and ever use.” John Bloom, Author of Content Nation

“With over five billion individuals currently armed with mobile phones, we’re talking about unprecedented levels of access and insight in the psyches of over two-thirds of the wrold’s population. …. By 2020, nearly 3 billion more people will be added to the Internet’s community.”

Other considerations: Learning styles

Support diverse learning styles "on average studies have shown roughly 29% have a visual preference, 34% auditory and 37% tactile”

IDC predicts that in the near future, nearly 70% of the digital universe will

be created by individuals

BrightPlanet has estimated the size of the Dark Web to be 500 times the size of the

Surface web, which would make it approximately 550 billion web pages

Creative Commons:

“Very few of today’s students press beyond the first level of the Web which contains only 7% of the data appropriate for academic work… the deeper Web contains information that is 1-2K times better in quality than the surface Web.”

Creating the Academic Commons Loc 340.

“A library in New York or in Kansas is no long the library for patrons in those geographic areas, but to all of those potential patrons residing anywhere on the planet.”Creating the Academic Commons. Loc 234

As librarians, we have to get ready to massively SCALE

everything we do.

How do we do that?

It won’t be with the systems of

yesterday.

“We are interpreting a global world with a system built for local landscapes.”

“Today’s average low-end computer calculates at roughly 10 to the 11th, or a hundred billion calculations per second…. The average $1,000 laptop should be computing at the rate of the human brain in fewer than fifteen years. Fast-forward another twenty-three years and that same machine will be computing at a rate equivalent to all the brains of the entire human race.”

“Twenty years ago, most well-off US citizens owned a camera, alarm-clock, encyclopedias, a world atlas.. And a bunch of other assets that easily add up to more than $10,000. All of which comes standard on today’s smart phone, or are available for purchase at the app store for less than a cup of coffee.”

Analytics

Knowledge MapSource:

“Clickstream Data Yields High-

Resolution Maps of Science”

Bollen J, Van de Sompel H, Hagberg A, Bettencourt L, et al. (2009) Clickstream Data Yields High-Resolution Maps of Science. PLoS ONE 4(3): e4803. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0004803

http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0004803

Libraries will go from being reactive and generic service organizations to proactive and highly personalized service organizations.

Concerns

“A cloud may seem to be beyond the purview, both in staff training and technical expertise – of the average library. It must not be so, however, if libraries are to remain leaders in their own field of expertise and in academic research.”

Librarians and Access (Specifically Discovery)

For our services to have value they must offer differentiation.

Collaboration

Requires planning for:

•Highly scalable data storage

•Jim Neal (Columbia) points out that networking capacity must be built out to support:

• Connectivity

• Reliability

• Capacity

• Performance

• Security

Research data & BIG data

As Neal also points out, these will be:

• Accessed well beyond institution that created it

• Extracted

• Reused by other applications

• Collaborated around and upon

• Used to drive visualizations/simulations/gaming

• Used in conjunction with analytics to drive decision making

Research data & BIG data

Issues include:

• Usage rights

• Intellectual property

• Copyright

• Ownership

• Licensed vs. open

• Rights management

• Preservation

Research data & BIG data

• Licenses / Limitations• Pricing• First-sale-doctrine• Who “owns” the data?• What if library data is “enhanced”? Who owns

it then?• Rules governing API’s and their usage?• Extracting library owned data.• Privacy • Preservation

e-data in the Cloud

When is the next “Carrington Event”?

The last one was in 1859

Or, hurricane(s)?

Wrap-Up

Topics we covered

• Directions we’re headed

• How do we do that?

• Concerns

“Larry Page of Google asks:

Are you working on something that can change the world? Yes or no? The answer for 99.99999% of people is “no”. I think we need to be training people on how to change the world.”
