  • But understanding the intersection of our city, our village, or our community with these earth-changing events has, for the most part, never been captured or preserved. In the future, this will become one of the most valuable functions provided by a community library.
  • few considered the library to be a good photo or video archive.
  • libraries will want to expand their hosting of original collections, and installing the equipment to digitize the information.

  • As information becomes more sophisticated and complex, so will libraries.

      Yes!  This is exactly what we are thinking!
  • school officials will strive for a philosophical, functional, and physical merger of the school library with the IT program, with a faculty center and spaces for staff development, as well as spaces where teachers can work with (and learn from) students, school librarians, and IT staff; and
  • beyond the library walls
  • viewed primarily as a cost, rather than as an investment,
  • trying to create a good program by simply redesigning space without paying attention to staffing.
  • Teaching people to effectively find and use information to meet their needs.”
  • the 21st century school library must look beyond tradition to the future, to what is needed to help fulfill the educational mission, goals, and objectives of the school.
  • he library will be a sacred space dedicated to honoring those who use the library to meet whatever informational, educational, socialization and personal needs they might have.
  • broadest mission
  • Today’s library is a learning place, not a warehouse space.
  • fluid
  • Libraries must be spaces where multiple activities can take place simultaneously.
  • ifferent types of environments
  • ook at places where kids DO want to be
  • brary staff and a library program in place before facility planning
  • help as you can from an experienced, reputable school library facility design consultant—
  • Involve the stakeholders
  • Be adventurous,
  • complex
  • And I always say, design for the technologies that are available NOW, not those just over the horizon. The horizon might be further away than you anticipate.
  • libraries and librarians are needed now more than ever
  • a mix of print and non-print materials
  • consider providing more space for instructional purposes.
  • As much as possible we should be designing flexible spaces so that space required today for book storage can easily be converted for other purposes in the future.
  • he emphasis must be on the quality of the collection, not the quantity.

      Is this still true?

      Hence our 'requirement' that both teachers and students work on their portfolios at the end of a unit after using the MALT Center.
  • The glut of information that keeps expanding overwhelms most people, and libraries and librarians are needed to help guide and teach students and teachers to cope.

    France in 2000 year (XXI century). Future school. From a postcard by Villemard, 1910. Last week, I attended the De Lange Conference held at Rice University every other year, this time on "Teaching in the University of Tomorrow." The future-oriented theme had both intrigued me, and left me a little skeptical.

  • The truth is, if you want a decent job that will lead to a decent life today you have to work harder, regularly reinvent yourself, obtain at least some form of postsecondary education, make sure that you’re engaged in lifelong learning and play by the rules. That’s not a bumper sticker, but we terribly mislead people by saying otherwise.
  • lifelong learning is the key to getting into, and staying in, the middle class.
  • “illiteracy will not be defined by those who cannot read and write, but by those who cannot learn and relearn.” Any form of standing still is deadly.
