Some examples

ILL 2.0ILLiad by OCLC/Arizona Portal Project

Collections 2.0EDI/ILS Integration

Programming/Space 2.0Open room with wi-fi

Reference 2.0Local experts/check-out experts

Equipment 2.0Get a sample of the newest thing

ILS 2.0Do away with the library card log-in

I like control!

Don't do everything!

1.It's possible to push off work to your patrons2.Know that all of this will cause more work for you3.Your users will get more control (they like that)4.Have enough money as a buffer to provide this level

of service5.Be able to cut funding in other areas to provide

funding in these areas6.Provide a long term plan to allow space, equipment,

and flexibility to change.7.Don't do everything!

How do I get there?

● In the beginning...you just needed books and a building

Then you need a sponsor

You are sustained, but now what?

● Most libraries are here● The original goal is to establish services, but we

need to look beyond that.

● Library becomes reactive● Library becomes proactive

What next?

● Library scans the horizon● The library experiments● Library increases user control● Superpatrons help guide library services
