Contents:
The hyperlinked librarian : skills, mindsets, and ideas for working in the evolving library -- Scanning the horizon : includes: challenges, developments, emerging opportunities -- Considerations for prospective librarians -- Communities of practice -- A curriculum for librarianship : goals, evolving LIS curriculum, cross-discipline collaborations -- Infinite learning : library learning, collaboration, support, professional development.
Summary: A search for "librarians and empathy" won't get many hits, but empathy is key in collaboration among cross-cultural partners in a technological environment. Stephens believes that in order to create institutions that expand minds and craft futures-- especially in a time of falling budgets and rising use-- libraries must not be just hyperlinking establishments, but must also engage with the community they serve
