83. 2008- 2009 ALA President Jim Rettig “I believe that the biggest challenge that all libraries today face is getting people’s attention. We operate in a very competitive environment for what the 2005 OCLC Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources report calls “mindshare.” Think of all the stimuli that have sought your attention since you got out of bed this morning—radio, television, Web sites, Web pop-ups, telephone calls, text messages—to say nothing of face-to-face interactions with family, co-workers, friends, and others. Your library and mine are competing for the attention of people who are making choices where to put their attention in response to all of those competing stimuli.”

84. 2008- 2009 ALA President Jim Rettig Some of you may have heard me discuss the Library Ecosystem: the idea that all types of libraries are interrelated. For example, the closing of a school library in a community will have impact on the public library in that community, which now has to deal with overflow from the school; as well as the college library, which now has to teach remedial information literacy skills to incoming freshmen. In order not just to survive but to thrive in today’s economy, libraries of all types must come together and advocate with a unified voice. Visit the new Coalition Building web resource!

85. "Web scale" discovery and delivery of library resources “OCLC, has consistently investigated how people's relationships to information have evolved with the advent of the Web. Not surprisingly, the results have shown a preference for self-service on this global medium. “Most people, when asked to draw an association with libraries, still think mainly of "books" rather than electronic content and services that are increasingly available nor do they particularly equate libraries with the Web. A 2007 report found further that people did not perceive a role for libraries in the Web's newly "social" universe, where users promote themselves and share content within massive user communities. (Librarians largely agreed with that assessment.)”

90. Deliver library resources and services . . . at the point of need . . . in a manner . . . that users want . . . and understand. --OCLC Sound like a good goal?
