*The Library of the Future: Inside and Out*

*Updated Information About the Opening Keynote!*

*Hedging our bets on the library of the future: planning inside and out*

*Danuta Nitecki*, Dean of Libraries, Drexel University



Questions about the future of libraries emerge periodically whenever
disruptive changes surface.  Forces we all monitor around technologies,
regulations, demographics, dissemination of scholarship, economics,
information search habits, teaching strategies, and research practices
trigger such questions within higher education.  Championing the purpose of
an academic library while addressing such forces engage library directors.



This NISO conference invites us to share some approaches to framing
strategies to engage---whether we worry about challenges or leverage
opportunities to shape the library of the future.  We each are responsible
to both our staff and stakeholders, and strive for effective leadership for
change.   To ensure a relevant library of the future, regardless of the
success of our predictions of the impact of these forces, we hedge our bets
by planning both inside and out.   This keynote presentation will highlight
the forces other conference speakers will address in-depth as
considerations for redefining the library, and share a few strategic bets
for transforming one mid-sized university library.
