Right here with meStudents “talk” through homework with their handheld devices, which issue alerts when passing a bookstore with material they need to cite. Scanning the title page, this information is instantly embedded in proper citation style with an added endnote. Checking in on location-based services, students locate study team members and hold impromptu meetings without the need for study rooms. Their devices have whiteboards and can share notes with absent members. http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/issues/value/futures2025.pdf

Not be afraid to experiment !

• Letting that fear take priority can hold ourselves and our institutions back

• Manage our resistance to change and direct it towards the critical application of new skills

The academic library - at the “heart” of the modern university

• People-focus : working out with our community what they need and then providing it

• Personalised service : the services they require, whatever their needs

• Responsive service : always listening to the users

Italian Minister of Education “promotes” the e-text book for school goers

"con l'adozione dell'e-book" si dà "una mano alle famiglie e un sollievo agli studenti. Il libro in versione digitale scaricabile da internet permetterà infatti ai genitori di risparmiare limitando al massimo la spesa per i libri di testo, e allo stesso tempo i ragazzi non saranno più costretti ad andare a scuola caricando sulle spalle zainetti troppo pesanti". …A partire dall'anno scolastico 2011-2012, il collegio dei docenti adotta esclusivamente libri utilizzabili nelle versioni on line scaricabili da internet o al massimo le versioni "miste", quelle cioè che integrano sezioni digitali e cartacee.

British Library to lend e-book readers• Dr Stephen Bury, British Library's Head of

European and American Collections: “This is not the end of the book as we know it. The book in its physical form will remain important for so many reasons, but the incredible versatility of the new e-readers makes them perfect for researchers, allowing easy access to a wealth of information including previously rare and out of print material. This exhibit gives our researchers a chance to play around with some of the devices currently available, and explore how they can be used to complement existing printed collections in the 21st century.”

• CERN wanted everything available with a pay-per-view option with a purchase after a set number of accesses.
