Welcome to Future Lib- The Blog about the Future of Libraries, or more specifically, what competencies are needed in 21st Century. No longer just a quiet place to study, today's libraries are often bustling community centers, hubs of technology, and many library activities take place outside of library walls!
Our team thought about the way libraries have changed, and what skills are needed to adapt to these changes and meet the customer as they are. Many of the changes are technology related, such as Sabin's article on Cloud Computing, Ryan's discussion of Web Literacy, and Laurel's article on Social Media. Other 21st century competencies are more behaviorally related and require shifting roles, as shown in Jeannine's article on Non-Traditional competencies. We hope you enjoy our blog and that you learn something new. We welcome your comments and questions. Thanks for reading!
