Do we let our spaces work hard enough for us?
What are successful spaces doing? But I don't have any space! Keys to success: involving users, flexibility,
and more flexibility
Flexibility Creation Collaboration Tradition?
We cannot save libraries by doing more of what we have
done before because the outcome will be the same.
We all say a library has to be more than a collection of books, so why doesn't that show often in our spaces yet?
“The core of librarianship is to facilitate knowledge creation, not management.“
-Helen Clegg, Director of Knowledge Management,
A.T. Kearney
transition from spaces designed around knowledge
management to those designed around knowledge
creation and sharing
You have the best job in the world. We need a new business model
because the world is changing.

as a product and a service
2/3 of library budgets are tied up in staff & rent.
We have to start thinking about how we can make the library work harder for us.
The library space as a competitive advantage.
Shared off site storage allows for " repurposing on-campus library real estate to provide advanced academic technology services that support scholarship"

We don't work for books
We let the stories and visitors work for us!
“The future is already here, it’s just not evenly
distributed.”
