English abstract

For librarians and information professionals to be truly future ready, we should be able to predict the future, but of course that is impossible. One of the ways I think about the future is to think about how accurate predictions of the present were in the past. For the sake of picking a date, I am going to predict what things are going to be like for libraries and information centers in the year 2031 using 1991-2011 as the lens. Since I am an academic librarian, this article will have an academic bent to it, and I hope you can extrapolate the logic to fit your situation.
