Tired of thinking about tomorrow?

Working at the “Center for the Future of Libraries
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eala%2Eorg%2Ftransforminglibraries%2Ffuture>,”
sounds like a tough gig. After all, none of us has a Magic 8-ball that lets
us know exactly what the next disruptive trend will be. We guess. We
sometimes guess wrong.

The Center’s current campaign, in cooperation with the LibrariesTransform
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eilovelibraries%2Eorg%2Flibrariestransform%2F>
 campaign, does its best to identify and report on emerging trends
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eala%2Eorg%2Ftransforminglibraries%2Ffuture%2Ftrends>
within
the library world, and to “help libraries and librarians understand how
trends are developing and why they matter.” Though trends can rise and
fall, the campaign has done an excellent job of zeroing in on those that
seem to have broad appeal or a good deal of staying power. It’s not just a
guess – it’s a well-educated guess.

SWON’s upcoming Staff Training Symposium
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D838757%26group%3D>
–
a full-day event for all library staff from support staff to senior staff –
is using these emerging trends as the guide for the day. We are focusing on
concepts as diverse as “Fandom” to “Income Inequality.” Clearly, we also
believe these trends matter and, like the Center for the Future of
Libraries, want to help you understand these developing patterns.

We all know that our libraries need to keep up. We need to know, or at
least make a good guess at what’s next. But we also know that mostly that
Magic 8-ball says, “Reply Hazy. Try again, Later.” Sometimes, keeping up
seems exhausting or even futile.

The current issue
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Flj%2Elibraryjournal%2Ecom%2F%23%5F>
of
Library Journal arrived in our office today with a huge graphic declaring
the issue to be about “Designing the Library of the Future.” Here we go
again, some might think. It turns out, LJ was ready for that, leading off
with a piece called “Future Fatigue
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Flj%2Elibraryjournal%2Ecom%2F2016%2F09%2Flj%2Din%2Dprint%2Ffuture%2Dfatigue%2Ddesigning%2Dthe%2Dfuture%2F>,”
complete with an image of a Magic 8-ball.

Editor Meredith Schwartz writes in "Future Fatigue" that, “The accuracy
rate of forecasts is not high—many extend current trends but fail to
anticipate the curveball that will change the game, or focus on technology
and neglect social change,” and notes that there’s a “risk [of] creating a
culture of cynicism among staff and stakeholders most needed to buy into
change efforts if they are to succeed."

So maybe you’ve got Future Fatigue. It happens to us all. But we here at
SWON believe that learning together about strong, emerging trends from a
variety of engaging speakers can help you and your staff turn that Future
Fatigue into Future Fanaticism.

And we need Future Fanatics, because no effort succeeds without the library
staff. In fact, the Library Journal article suggests, as one of its ways to
combat fatigue, that we involve staff in change from the start.

So start here. Get involved. Register
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2624270&ymlink=47181049&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D838757%26group%3D>
for
our Staff Training Symposium on October 6th and when someone asks you about
the future of libraries, you can reply, “Outlook good.”

[image: Level Up Lab]   *Learn About LibGuides 2.0*

Has your library upgraded to the new LibGuides 2.0 system? Is it something
that you’re debating? Want to see all the new features and how to utilize
them in your system? Join Kari Jones for this helpful and informative
Level-up Lab.

This Lab will be at intermediate to advanced level. It will be held with
the assumption that you have already worked with the system (even the old
one) and have a basic understanding of how to navigate the system and
create content.
