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.

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.
