Which World? Using Far Fetched Scenarios to Map out the Future of Libraries
Sunday, January 29, 2023
10:00 AM – 11:15 AM
Location: Morial Convention Center, Room 291-292
What if libraries across the country planned for a 2020 global pandemic – back in 1996? What if NASA had alien contact? What if a search engine for the physical world was created? What if libraries and books were deemed illegal and banished from society?
If you are saying to yourself, “this is crazy” this session is for you. Come find out why crazy may be actual probable, possible, or preferred futures based on current trend patterns.
Join this interactive session to play with the future and create functional views of alternative futures through far-fetched scenarios. The best way we can adapt in whatever the future may hold is to spend the time considering what is possible and building strategies to thrive.
