KEYNOTE: Making a noise about a quiet revolution
Kate Torney celebrates the quiet revolution within libraries and the sector's embrace of disruption - but suggests the time for modesty is over. How do we find and communicate our value to ensure the success and sustainability of our institutions? How do we lead necessary transformation while staying true to our founding ideals?

Day 2 - Wednesday 18 October 2017
09:00 - 10:00
KEYNOTE: Expertise in an era of easy answers
Abundant online information provides easy answers to easy questions. Unfortunately it can also provide easy answers to complex questions, potentially eroding our ability to interrogate, evaluate and synthesise sources. In this talk, David White will explore the role libraries can play in countering the ‘think-less find-more’ mentality encouraged by the Web and the corresponding mistrust of ‘experts’ . In a time when we can Google our way to almost any answer, access to content has become less important than access to people who understand what that content means and where to head next.
