Keynoter: Michael Stephens, Assistant Professor, School of Information, San Jose State University. See http://tametheweb.com/about-michael-stephens/
Streaming at http://www.uis.edu/technology/live/ileadu.html
Emerging technologies are changing the way we live and learn. Libraries can play a key role in this future. Imagine the evolving hyperlinked library as a creation space, community space, anything space. Imagine this library available everywhere via mobile devices and tablets. Imagine opportunities for user learning supported and facilitated by librarians. How will library services change with MOOCs and mobile classrooms in the palm of one’s hand? What skills will staff require? What does the library as creative classroom look like? What does this future look like going forward as we encourage learning everywhere as a means for transformative change for ourselves and our users? This session will explore new ideas and thinking about learning at the library.
Time: 11:00 am – 11:15 am Eastern

Libraries as Platforms for World Domination
Keynoter: David Lankes, Syracuse University, School of Information Studies, Syracuse, New York. Professor and Dean’s Scholar on New Librarianship Streaming at: http://www.uis.edu/technology/live/ileadu.html
Libraries are platforms built by librarians to enable community empowerment. Those platforms may include collections and databases, but also maker spaces, gardens, WiFi hotspots and recording studios. This talk will outline how thinking of platforms and not buildings changes how we position librarianship in our communities.
