WEEK 6 -#15 - Future of Libraries

I looked through 5 perspectives. This is my favorite part of "to more powerful ways to cooperate":
"Collect user intelligence Another key lesson that O’Reilly emphasizes is the notion that “users add value.” For OCLC and its member libraries, this means expanding our definition of “collective intelligence” beyond the library professional to faculty, researchers, library patrons and others by building into our systems services that encourage these users contribute their expertise to the cooperative."
I think cooperative intelligence of people who work for the library and library users is the great idea and definitely one of the Libraries of the Future major trends!
