As the information and communication landscapes continue to shift, do you know where you are going? You plan for change. Not for yourself, not just for the library, but for the building, for your learners. ||  ||   ||   || It’s about learning and teaching. It’s about engagement. If you are seen only as the one who closes up for inventory, as the book chaser, and NOT as the CIO, the inventor, the creative force, you won’t be seen as a big picture person. ||  ||   ||   || as a 21st century information professional. What does the information professional look like today? Ten years from today? If you do not develop strong vision, your vision will be usurped by the visions of others. You will not be able to lead from the center. ||  ||   ||   || It’s always better when you do what you love. (If you don’t love this new library world, find something else to do.) ||  ||   ||   || and feed it with imagination. Think outside the box. Heck, there is no box! ||  ||
