dc.description.abstract |
Purpose - The purpose of this article is to present a series of reflections on future scenarios
distributed to Taiga Forum participants in March 2006.
Design/methodology approach - Permission was obtained to reprint the scenarios, and select
national library leaders, seasoned professionals and mid-career librarians were invited to respond to
these scenarios.
Findings - Taiga scenarios focus on broad areas - internal organizational structures, advances in
information technology, changing user expectations. Local engagement with these scenarios will help
staff prepare for the future. Scenarios lend themselves to a variety of uses, including in-service
training, staff development, team building. Scenario planning can easily be tailored to the specific
needs of an institution.
Originality/value - The Taiga Forum was an invitation-only event. Broader dissemination of the
scenarios provides others not only with the opportunity to move beyond their borders in technical
services, public services, collection development, or information technology, and transcend the
traditional library organization, but also with the opportunity to develop new solutions. |
