What we are up to…
To address the rapidly changing world – technological, social, and otherwise, the Futurists Interest Group (FIG) engages in future-focused content from a broad spectrum of fields and considers implications for libraries. The FIG functions as a think tank: tracking trends, addressing issues relevant to Colorado libraries, and sharing their knowledge with members and member organizations.
Strategies
FIG will:
- vigilantly track emerging trends across many sectors and disciplines.
- offer opportunities to library leaders and staff to embrace change through a mindset of proactive adaptation.
- develop scenarios, cast predictive frames, and provoke discussion to prepare libraries to be future-ready.
- provide opportunities to strengthen the future of libraries in Colorado through speakers, workshops, publications, and conference activities.
