"The traditional services of libraries, the scholars say, are less valuable than they used to be" Should academic libraries see this as a threat or an opportunity?

Less value in the traditional ways? Maybe? Its time to explore new avenues...here's a thought. Why don't we ask our academic colleagues what they want from us? Delete the scoop?

John Shank's insight:
"A makerspace is a physical location where people gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build. Makerspaces provide tools and working room in a community environment—a library, community center, private organization, or campus." Libraries are great spaces for this - the future library is transforming from a collection space to a creator place. That is exciting!

Zitat. "A makerspace is a physical location where people gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build. Makerspaces provide tools and space in a community environment—a library, community center, private organization, or campus. [...] The makerspace—sometimes referred to as a hackerspace—is often associated with fields such as engineering, computer science, and graphic design. The concept emerges from the technology-driven “maker culture,” associated with Make magazine and the Maker Faires it promotes."

John Shank's insight:
Will librarians play a different role with MOOCs then they do with traditional online distance education courses? If nothing else the enrollment size of many MOOCs is at a far greater scale then traditional online courses. This conference was a good start for thinking about how librarians support their organization's MOOC initiatives. Delete the scoop?
