Some of these may overlap with each other and with submissions of others.
1. Breakneck speed of technological change.
2. Increasing democratization of information access (no need for specialists).
3. Ubiquity of access to a full range of media
4. Disconnect between perceptions and preferences of librarians and those of students.
5. Aging instructors (who currently define what we focus on).
6. Massive uncertainty in the general culture and among librarians.
7. Inordinate attention to entertainment in all of its forms.
8. Fading of residual commitments to the library as essential to the "learning enterprise."
