The Fourth Turning: Leadership and Social Change

Learning Everywhere: The Transformative Power of Hyperlinked Libraries
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.

Libraries as Platforms for World Domination
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.

ABOUT ILEAD:
The ILEAD USA (Innovative Librarians Explore, Apply and Discover) program is designed to increase the leadership, collaboration and technology skills of library and library system staff from all types of institutions. Participants work in teams during three sets of onsite multi-day collaboration/learning sessions, supported by mentors and instructors, to address an identified statewide or local community need and develop a product, which is shared via the web.
During the onsite multi-day sessions, ILEAD USA participants will experience, through web streaming, keynote addresses delivered by national leaders both in and related to the library field.
