Here's some things he thinks libraries should think about doing or being involved in during 2014!
- Moocs.
Potential for 28-38% of universities to be bankrupt within 10 years
Khan Academy
Learn4life. High school equivalent; ed2go
Lynda.com. Growing 400% a month
Libraries
can be the place people go to receive their certification testing or
badges (be a facilitator of a program or developer of a program or
both)...like a proctor+.
- Some social media sites to watch:
SomeeCards. Show personality of the library culture
Snapchat. Personality of the library
Tumblr get a connection to teen boys
Pinterest. Middle age women. Promote books
- Cloud storage, infrastructure and software:
Get 60-80% savings to IT costs (less server and software installation and maintenance)
"Online server backups pretty freaking secure. Govt use it why aren't you?"
- Cloud data for curated data warehousing:
Oclc worldshare
DPLA. Discoverability of free metadata
