Perhaps I read things differently. When they say online learning, I think libraries making information easily accessible via online, mobile devices and social network tools. When they say differentiation, I think increased communication with students based on their personal needs via Moodle, Twitter and Facebook for research sharing, and teaching students to create their own personal learning networks. When they say blended learning, I think class F2F time and online. When they say student voice and advocacy, I think digital footprint, intellectual freedom, banned sites and the library as a place for students to shine. I think reinventing how we operate and reassessing how to reach students so that they can succeed. Think learning culture. Think library
learning commons.

Perhaps I missed it, but I find no mention of libraries, school libraries, school media centers, information literacy centers or anything else library-like in these predictions.

This was a good article in
eSchool News. They have summarized the trends well IMHO. It's a good heads up. You may have to register to view the entire article, but it's free and they share good info.
