The Hyperlinked Library
Library Users Matter
Libraries suffer from the misconception that they are irrelevant

Some libraries see this as opportunity to grow
Some libraries only want limited or one sided change
Libraries have something other
organizations don't have
A Heart

Libraries were not created to make money
Libraries were created to serve people
It is the connections with people
that makes change possible
Changes can range from large as
renovating or building a library
to small as allowing people to use the library as a safe haven
Everything should be geared
toward the user experience
The community needs to be involved in the change
so the library can continue to thrive
Active engagement through hyperlinked communities
increases the chances of reaching all users

Use technology in a user friendly way
but not as a means to end but to enhance relationships
Not all users are able to use technology the same way
Build bridges for all to participate
By being transparent
all people feel valued and heard
Challenge yourselves to be familiar
with the unfamiliar
Invest in a learning commons

Whether it be a library farm
Do not be afraid of gaming
Accept it as part of the learning culture
Library employees
are the soul of the organization
Library employees need to be part of the process
and not excluded from transparency
