This session will present the findings of a report (http://www.acrl.ala.org/acrlinsider/2010/06/21/futures-thinking-for-academic-librarians/) commissioned by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) which considered the most important trends that will impact libraries over the next 15 years. In addition to immediate and strategically actionable trends, the presentation will also consider outlier/Black Swan trends.
