Provocative
to do and
stop doing
Where is the library
going as an
organization? Where
is the University
going?
What services do we
anticipate providing
that we don’t
currently provide ?
How do we relate

differently now
than in the past?
How should we?
What is the
library’s
position
description?
What is the
libraries’
product?
What
existing
library
activities are
undervalued?
