Questions - How do we get buy-in for this new type of library, especially for academic libraries?
How/when do you expect this sort of change will take place? I'm an academic librarian in the USA and change in higher education moves very slowly. Any ideas/suggestions on how to bring about this type of change? Thanks!
The vid and presentation is just a start, but it helps get our intentions & goals out there and also with staff awareness. We hope to be in the new library in 2015, but as you'd realise there is a lot to prepare before then so we are making an early start. We are trying to encourage a trusting culture that is more tolerant of mistakes; one in which the enthusiasm is contagious and open to new ideas. It seems to be working so far!

This vid is a vivid demonstration of the victory of fatuous management faffle over any serious consideration of the future of libraries.
What does it actually say? Absolutely nothing.
