Presentation by Mal Booth, Sophie McDonald and Belinda Tiffen, UTS Library. Ideas and concept for the video format were borrowed from the Common Craft website at www.commoncraft.com
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!
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!

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.
