\"Future<\/p>\n

Example questions include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sloan \u2013 Unlike many futurists, you have stated that \u201clibraries are here to stay.\u201d\u00a0Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sloan \u2013 You\u2019ve said that within 10 years the ink-on-paper publishing industry will not be a sustainable economic model. What will the new business model\u00a0be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Sloan \u2013 You have written and spoken about libraries becoming \u201cElectronic Outposts.\u201d What is an Electronic Outpost\u00a0library?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sloan \u2013 What is the \u201cEmpire of One\u201d business model and why should libraries be interested in this\u00a0trend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Sloan \u2013 In the 2006 book\u00a0The Long Tail,<\/em> Wired<\/em> magazine Editor Chris Anderson said, \u201cWhen the tools of production are available to everyone, everyone becomes a producer.\u201d What new roles and functions can libraries adopt to support\u00a0producers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sloan \u2013 In addition to libraries, you write and speak about the future of business, education, government, and transportation. What trends in these areas do you think will have the greatest impact on the future of\u00a0libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The future of education will revolve around hyper-individualized learning, self-paced, organically generated content that is modality diverse, and available on-demand 24\/7. Any topic, anywhere, anytime \u2026 it will be less dependent on teachers, less dependent on schools, and offer more personal control. Libraries have the potential for becoming the working laboratories for people creating new\u00a0courseware.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sloan \u2013 Over the past few years you have visited hundreds of libraries and spoken to many library groups across the country. What have you learned about libraries that you didn\u2019t know prior to your\u00a0visits?<\/strong><\/p>\n
