As the other Jennifer suggested, IFLA wants to hear from you with a hashtag, so if you're able to tweet and webinar at the same time, please tweet this, tweet yourself to IFLA, they really like to keep track of who's doing this and where it's going, and it would be cool if you told them you were from a smaller rural library in North America, because I think they'd like to hear that too.
As you know by 98L now, today's program is brought to you by ARSL, WebJunction, and IFLA.
We're all partnering together, and we are your facilitators.
I am Jennifer Pearson, the director of the Marshall county memorial library in Tennessee.
And we have with us, you've met Jennifer Peterson and Bethea already, you've probably met Kieran and Gail in chat, they are fellow board members with me on the arbored.
 they've been enormously helpful to me and they will be helpful as we continue along today.
So what is IFLA's global vision?
The global vision is basically a brainchild of the IFLA organization, the international federation for library associations, and they really -- we're taking a look at the library world and the fast pace of change in the library world and said, hey, what can we do to help these folks?
How can we help create a global vision for libraries, those inclusive of all libraries regardless of size, regardless of type, and regardless of geography.
So what they came up with was the idea for the global vision.
And creating what they're calling a united library field.
And what they say about it is that they firmly believe that only a unified and connected library field will be able to fulfill one of the true potentials of libraries.
Which is to build literate, informed, and participative societies.
And they started -- this started with a workshop in Athens, Greece earlier this year, and they've built it out from there and have had workshops in each continent across the globe.
I was lucky enough to be chosen as the ARSL representative to the North American workshop.
So I spent a day and a half, a couple of days in Washington, DC participating with librarians from all over the United States and Canada doing the same thing we're doing today.
Like I said, that was a two-day session, this is an hour and a half session.
So we're going to work really hard in a short period of time and come up with some really great ideas to pass along to IFLA.
Before we get started, we're going to take a quick look at the values of the discussion that IFLA wants us all to share I'm not going to read all these to you, but it has to do with being together and inclusive, and transparent, and really taking the time to listen to one another and listen to everybody's ideas and supporting one another as we move forward to create this vision for libraries that IFLA will turn into a report, and then to a working document that we can all use going forward in the future.
All right.
So why are your voices important here?
I assume that most of you joining us today are from small or rural libraries, and you're not, that's great.
All libraries should be participating in this.
But smaller rural libraries are important to this conversation.
Not only because IFLA has specifically asked for all types of libraries to join in this, but because we have things that make us unique.
We have things that make our work possibly different from work in larger libraries or different types of libraries, so our voice in this is important to the continued work of IFLA in creating this vision for libraries.
I think occasionally small and rural libraries can be left out of the big discussion, and so this is a great opportunity for us to be a part of this ongoing discussion and to use our voice and to be vocal in this international project.
So we're about ready to get started.
What we're going to do now, I'm going to pass it back to the other Jennifer P., and she's going to give you an overview of the tools that we're using today.
>> Excellent.
Thank you so much.
There's going to be a lot of interactivity on the slides themselves today, so I want you to take a moment and look to the top left corner of your view and find a little gray marker.
You should be able to click on that marker, and it will turn blue.
And then I want you to go halfway down the menu on that left side of your screen, and find the square, and there's a little arrow to the right of the square indicating you can open that menu up to find a submenu, and then find the check mark and click on the check mark and then now you should be able to click on the slide, and I'll encourage you to use this as a time to practice.
Excellent.
I see lots of check marks.
Perfect.
And we do ask that you find the check mark, there are a handful of other tools, but because we've got some pretty small real estate on our other slides, look for that square first, and then find the check mark.
I'm going to ask you to hold your practice check marks, and Jennifer Pearson is going to lead us to your first interactive question of the day.
>> All right.
Thank you, Jennifer Peterson.
The first question is the easiest question.
Ready?
How many years have you worked in libraries?
Go!
How many collective years have we all worked in libraries, based on the check marks we have here?
>> Excellent.
500?
Wow!
500 years!
And there's only 46 of us here!
That's very impressive.
>> And I didn't even put a check mark now.
So you can add another 20.
>> There you go.
Excellent.
All right.
Good job, everyone.
So now we're going to get into the meat of our conversation today.
Is everybody ready?
Has everybody got their coffee ready to go, cranked up?
All right.
So as we go through this global vision conversation, here's the mind-set we all need to work from.
So we're going to think about as we go through these questions and answer these questions, we're going to think about challenges, issues, and opportunities that you share with all libraries.
But we're also going to remember, there are no right or wrong answers that your experience will guide your answers.
So your answers should come from your experience.
Your experience now, your experience in the past, and you're not trying to guess what other people would think, you're using your experiences to create your answers.
And if you have an answer that no one else has given, it's important to share it.
We tend to sometimes in a group situation have group think, we don't want group think.
Your original thoughts are important, and you might -- you want to share them, because it just might change the world.
So a little quick overview of what we're going to do.
We're going to step into the questions with the next slide.
With each question, you all who are participating are going to follow along and type your answers in the chat box.
One thing to be aware of is in your answers for each question to try to be as brief as you can, think in terms of words or phrases.
Not in terms of the way we generally as librarians like to talk in long, long sentences.
So words or phrases are best.
When we -- we will transcript the slides, Jennifer Peterson and Betha are going to be our scribe and they will transcript the slides so you guys don't have to write on the slides, but you will be using those check marks again to vote on the slides.
This will become clear as we move along.
Remember to use chat, if you have any questions or comments as we move through, we want this to be an engaging opportunity for you all.
It will take a lot of your effort to answer the questions, but if you're seeing other things, please dialogue with one another and chat.
That's one of the great features of these webinars, is to be able to network with one another in chat.
Okay.
So let's get ready for the first question.
It is a fun one.
So we're going to think about libraries in 2022, which is not that long from now, says the math challenged person.
I think six years?
And your vision of libraries in 2022.
So imagine a newspaper headline in 2022.
What would it say your library has achieved?
Five years, thanks, Kieran.
What would it say your libraries have achieved?
What would the headline say?
What key words come to mind in your vision of libraries in 2022?
Which is only five years from now.
Great.
>> Can you go ahead and advance the slide?
>> I can.
>> Thank you.
>> I see a lot of future virtual, drone-based, information comments.
Library drone outpaces amazon.
Love it.
All streaming libraries, virtual reality.
Oh, I like center for community engagement.
That is near and dear to my heart.
Small rooms, community open rooms.
Libraries as community centers.
Knowledge hubs.
Fake media eliminated.
From your lips.
Library goins reestablish physical collection.
More virtual reality, program hub.
Technology learning center.
So we're going to take a few more seconds to think about this.
Let Jennifer and Betha type in the answers.
So if you're still thinking, get those thoughts into chat.
>> Obviously we're not going to be able to capture it all, which is the brilliant part about having chat be part of our guide.
So know that we're doing our best.
>> Open access expands worldwide knowledge.
Experiential learning brings new patients to library.
I like that one too.
Libraries aid in improving participatory democracy.
Yes!
All right.
So these are some great headlines, and great key words to talk about libraries in 2022.
I think it's really interesting and exciting the things you guys are coming up with.
Some really good ideas.
Rural towns retaining top students due to great community hub at the libraries.
Love that.
>> Fantastic.
I like these newspapers that we're going to have -- newspaper headlines in five years.
>> Me too.
Okay, guys.
That was really great for the first question.
Some really great thoughts and great ideas here.
And I think that we're ready to move into the meat of this thing now.
So on the next slide we're going to look at a few of the questions that will go through these one by one, okay?
So what we're going to do is we're going to go through these one by one, you guys are going to do just like you did before and type your answers into chat.
We're going to transcript them, but what will be different about these next few is we'll then vote on a top three, everybody will get three check marks, and we'll each vote on a top three for the answers.
So the first one that we'll look at is what do you see as the core values of libraries?
So when you think about core values, maybe think about things that would be in your mission statement or your vision statement.
What are the things that make libraries, libraries?
The things that we just always have done, or always will do, and -- wow.
We're cooking.
>> We're rolling already.
>> I don't need to explain this.
Get to typing, ladies!
>> Research support, that sounds great.
>> Access to everyone, lifelong learning, privacy.
>> I like LIB staff as community glue.
Diversion collection.
I'll grab lifelong learning, that's one of my favorites.
Community empowerment.
Digital literacy.
Always front and center.
Community sustainability.
That's a little bit different from empowerment.
Quite a bit different.
>> Bridge the technology gap for lower income.
Information literacy, I'm not sure that's --
>> Access, I thought that would be one of the first -- we just put it as broad topic.
Differentiated from equal access to information.
>> Personal and community growth.
All go for community partnership.
Very important.
A distinction, we've got both info and digital literacy.
Good.
So we do have the two.
I'm going to cross one out.
Gotcha.
Freedom of information.
We don't have that.
>> Safe place in general, but safe place to explore.
You guys are prolific!
>> We're running out of spots.
Again, we'll have more in chat, and we're going to go ahead.
I'll actually assume you all are savvy with arming yourself with a check mark, and I am going to give you access to those check marks now so you should see that menu back up on the left.
So as Pearson said, you restrict yourself to three check marks total on this slide.
So think about the three core values that are -- your top three.
So I know it's difficult to hone in on just three, but this will help us do our prioritizing for each of these questions.
And try to make your check mark in that little box.
I know it's all kind of small, but like I said -- and if for any reason you're not seeing the option to check mark, I should mention that you can always put your choices into chat, and we will take those into conversation as we prioritize as well.
So I know sometimes the annotation tools don't show up for people.
We've definitely got some top contenders here for our five.
I'm going to start to prioritize these.
I'm going to say that we definitely have many, many selections, I just have to decide what color I want to use -- for lifelong learning.
So let's go ahead and make lifelong learning our first choice, and then I would say we've got two very equally distributed, equal access to information, information literacy, freedom of information.
Is there a fifth that jumps out?
We've got lots of three check marks here.
Three, three, three.
Anyone want to tip the scales for one of them?
Anyone waiting to see where they fall?
>> I think somebody is stuffing the ballot box.
Excellent.
Fantastic.
I think we've successfully completed thcialghts our first -- this, our first highly interactive question.
I'm going to take your tools away from you, just as we move into the next question, and then we'll give them back.
You can see how this process will work.
Excellent.
You all are fantastic contributors to this collaborative session.
>> All right.
Great job, everyone.
And thanks so much Jennifer and Betha for doing this so well and so quickly.
So like Jennifer said, we're going to move to the next question.
Maybe.
All right.
So the next question is, what are libraries exceptionally good at?
Again, think about it from your perspective, your libraries, the libraries you've been to, worked  at, your favorite libraries, what are they exceptionally good at?
>> Sharing came up immediately.
Access, again.
Doing more with less.
>> Oh, yeah, that's a tough one, but we're good at it.
>> Collection building.
Finding the facts.
Community gathering.
Resourcefulness.
Diversity.
>> Early literacy skills.
>> I'll put that, early literacy skills.
>> There's a lot that seems to be about welcoming all types of people.
Welcoming space, welcoming all types of people.
>> I'll put welcoming everyone, how about that for shorthand?
Outreach.
Customer service.
Reliable sources.
Collaboration.
>> Teaching.
I'm going to go with teaching as a broader one.
>> I like thinking outside the box.
Especially small and rural libraries as incubators of innovation.
And partnerships.
Networking.
Problem solving, can we get that one up there?
I've run out of spaces.
>> I'll put problem solving.
And the board is full.
>> I see one empty spot on your side.
>> Excellent.
All right.
And they're still coming, but we're going to go with these as our choices on this, so I'm going to arm you with your check marks again.
You should see those.
Now, again, go ahead and select your top three, three check marks per person.
>> I think the doing more with less is one of our core exceptionally good skills.
From necessity.
>> I was going to say, do we think that's a good thing?
>> The survival skill.
>> I'd like to do more with a lot more, myself.
>> Right.
>> We'd be really good at that.
>> Start a new movement.
I think the community gathering spaces is definitely one of the top five.
All right.
And then definitely I'd say the doing more with less.
And then welcoming everyone seems to have -- maybe programming next?
Feel free to let me know if you think otherwise.
I'd say collaboration and welcoming everyone might be the final two.
Does that look right to everyone else?
>> Looks good to me.
There are great ideas flowing in the chat.
>> And I think a lot of them kind of fit in to some of these buckets.
So obviously -- and this is again what the IFLA folks, the global vision group will be working to pull in the bigger bucket, but I think the details that you're providing in chat even within some of those I think will be really helpful for them as well.
Excellent.
All right.
So let's move forward to our next question.
>> So we have two questions on one slide, but we're going to work on one at a time.
To shake you up a little bit.
So the first question is, what do you feel we could do more of?
What should libraries be doing more of?
>> So start with the more of.
What should -- what could we do more of?
I think tech training was the first one on that.
More community involvement.
Partnerships.
Advertising.
Marketing, I would say, both.
Breaking down barriers to access.
More outreach.
>> Outreach has been on here at least three times.
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think everyone is in agreement on that.
Linking our mission to our community vision.
Interesting.
More of that.
Advocacy.
>> Staff appreciation.
More breaking stereotypes, that's interesting.
Within the context of all of the visioning.
More equity, more equity and access.
There's a stuffing of the ballot box here from Pearson in chat for advocacy.
>> We'll make a special additional entry just for advocacy.
>> Diversity.
We should put diversity --
>> can we fit it in?
Or just add it?
>> Put it under the IFLA logo, maybe.
>> Put it down at the bottom.
That is important.
>> All right.
Shall we move on to less of?
>> Yes.
Let's.
>> Fines, that's a good one.
Love that.
Fewer policies.
>> Banning.
>> You clearly are in agreement on that.
>> Less no.
I like that one.
Less whining.
Also a good one.
>> People on their phones.
>> I like less quietly accepting cuts.
Which goes back to my more advocacy.
>> Say that again?
>> Less quietly accepting cuts.
Which I think goes back to the more advocacy.
Can we have more wining?
That's funny.
>> I like less trying to do everything, which really correlates with doing more with less.
>> Yes.
>> How about one more?
Less counter.
I like that.
I took liberty to define that as less space definition.
All right.
Now let me give you back your tools.
And go ahead and select your top three on each.
So top three more of, top three less of.
Or top -- fewer, less of.
Good point.
We've got a little -- okay.
This looks like it's going to be much harder to define.
It looks like advocacy for sure for a top four.
>> A lot of close calls here.
It looks like more community involvement, for sure.
I love that.
That is awesome.
>> Outreach has got quite a few checks.
>> Training.
Tech training.
>> Wonder if we could combine equity access and diversity, and make that our final -- I'm going to move --
>> put a big square around all of them.
One, two, three, four, five.
There's five on that side.
You've definitely done more check marking on the other side.
Do you want to type "diversity" in that box?
>> I will do that.
>> That is substantial.
Accepting cuts.
So we can -- I'd love more sort of thoughts on how to describe that.
It's sort of -- sorry.
More passive kind of around -- more around passively accepting cuts and --
>> so I will jump in, and people should jump in in chat and say, when I read that, I think it means, yeah, it's a flip side of supporting advocacy.
So it's being more vocal I think you have to be more vocal on the front end, so that you don't have to accept the cuts.
But vocalizing your needs better.
Chat, you can tell me I'm wrong.
>> Attending council meetings, being at the table, I think -- yeah.
I think I only highlighted four.
So we'll do whining as our fifth.
So, yeah, for those of you who are just joining us, this probably looks very different from many of our webinars.
So we are working through questions that come from the global vision effort workshops, so we have moved through four of our questions already, and are prioritizing those with check marks.
So, yes, I actually think I've checked -- let's see.
You all have access.
Okay.
We are going to move on to our next question, so hold your check marks for a bit, and Jennifer Pearson will move us into our next question.
>> Okay.
So the next question is about -- are about the main challenges to libraries.
So what are the challenges that you face in your library all the time?
Funding, funding, funding, funding.
Funding.
Staffing.
>> Short-staffed.
>> Funding and staffing.
>> Staffing.
I'll do people who want to restrict others' access.
>> I like this one that says having confidence to realize the public library's a fundamental part of our community.
>> That's a long one.
I'll do that.
Getting community buy-in.
Marketing space.
Dealing with homelessness.
We'll just put homeless.
So many roles.
I'm going to say juggling roles.
Devaluing of services.
That's interesting.
I wonder if we could hear a little bit more about that?
>> Idles like to know more about connecting the ethical to the practical.
I'm not sure I understand what that means.
>> Having adequate training.
>> I'm actually going to add social work to the homeless line, because I think the social work in our public space is the bigger question.
>> I'm going to say staff motivation.
Just had a webinar on motivation, so that is a good staff motivation morale, I'll put that in one.
Staffing.
So we had short staff, and then sort of more staff specific to skills.
>> Ethical to the practical, the elevator speech that shows how the ethics we espouse play out in the services we offer.
How they benefit the community.
I really like that.
I don't know how to fit that into the slide.
>> I'll add it to the list now that we have a nice explanation of what that means.
I like that.
>> Thank you.
>> I've got communicating with other libraries.
>> Stuck in our comfort zones.
>> Staff seeing beyond day-to-day.
>> Legislators not seeing our clientele in their needs.
So sort of legislators not understanding library needs.
>> I put stereotypes, that actually came up earlier too, so we can put that in challenges.
Generational, this is probably more about protections.
Maybe stereotypes and perceptions.
>> How about a general -- there's prepping staff to become regional leaders, but how about more generally preparing library leaders?
>> I've got understanding cultural differences.
>> Transportation has come up twice.
So I'm going to add it to the list.
>> Perfect.
All right.
So there's obviously more than just these 20 that we've transcribed here, but let's go ahead and I'm going to give you access to your annotation tools, and we ask that you go to the left side of your screen and find the marker at the top left, and then you'll go down halfway through that menu that's on the left side of your screen to the square, select that square, and then you can move down to the check mark option in that square menu, and then once you've clicked on the check mark, you can go over to the screen and click and again, we ask that you use three check marks in this prioritization process.
>> I just slipped in staff continuing education, because --
>> I saw that!
>> I personally feel that's a super important one.
>> That's actually a good one for sure.
>> It's just all about the funding, stupid!
>> Yeah.
>> Funding, funding, funding.
But I think that's interesting, because it goes back to what we need to do more of.
Things like advocacy, and awareness, and outreach.
That -- if we did more of that, it could help with this challenge.
If you guys haven't figured it out yet, I have a particular bias in this conversation, which you can choose to ignore at your own peril.
>> I still see some check marks coming in.
I ventured to select funding as one of our top five.
Preparing library leaders.
It's interesting, I'm always fascinated by -- there's a slight differentiation between leadership development and staff development, which I think really leadership development is staff development, and staff development is leadership development.
So there's my bias.
But I think it's a good way -- it's a good distinction certainly for our challenges in our organization.
So I'm going to go ahead and highlight both of those.
We've got short-staffing, I think that obviously fits into the funding issue, but a good one to distinguish as well.
And then what do you all think, marketing?
>> Marketing.
Yeah.
>> Getting our story out there, telling that library story, making sure people know what is there.
We have one more if folks -- I think maybe this one below marketing is our fifth.
All right.
Excellent.
Wow.
This is really fun.
I'm going to take your tools away just while we get your contributions from chat up on the next slide.
And I think we might move to a new sort of subset.
Is that right?
>> You are correct.
Okay.
So these are our last couple of questions.
And I want to say kudos to everyone, because our timing is great.
I thought this was going to take a lot longer, and I'm glad to see that it's not, because I'm supposed to do it in an hour at ARSL.
Good job, everyone.
>> If we have extra time we can solve all these problems, right?
>> I think that's what we're going to do at the end, and also talk about where we're all from, because we never got to that, and that's what always excites me, is where everybody is from, and what libraries they're from.
Anyway, back to the point at hand, so this is now when we're talking about a united library field and what you see that being.
And again, we'll go back to sort of the definition of united being inclusive, connected, global, all types of libraries, all sizes, all geographies.
So when you think about united library field, it's trying to work together to get out of our silo and to all work together and be united about what is most important to us.
So we'll go through these.
Last two questions with that in mind.
So the first one being what would the characteristics of a united library field be?
>> Connected.
Very good.
Right off the bat.
>> Robustly collaborative.
>> Resource, sharing resources.
>> Courtesy and concern.
>> Nonjudgment.
>> I'm going to put "open," because that's broad open potential, but a lot of ideas behind that.
>> Staff supporting each other.
>> Communicative.
>> Innovative.
>> Lots of -- nonjudgment.
Let's get that one up there.
>> Trusting.
Globalized.
I'll spell it with the American Z as opposed to the British S.
>> I like advocates to the wider world.
>> I'll put that one up there.
>> Which follows along with worldwide advocacy community.
Which is actually what we should probably call ourselves instead of librarians.
I like it.
>> Yeah, and I'm interested in the removal of hierarchy of library types.
Just more understanding of the common needs of libraries.
>> I'm going to say that characteristic is having a vision and mission.
>> I also like this one I just saw a lot, assertive community problem solvers.
>> I'll add that one.
I like that.
>> Very outwardly -- outward looking.
>> Unified.
Okay.
>> How about networked to achieve common goals?
>> Do we already have -- we have collaboration.
So I'm seeing that come up again.
Sharing, collaboration.
>> Diversity and inclusion I'm going to add.
>> I like well-funded by the world community.
>> Yes.
>> Sharing resources.
>> I got sharing resources.
>> Oh, yeah, I see.
Discovery.
>> Maybe sharing strategies is another --
>> okay, I'll get that one in here.
>> Different from sharing resources.
>> Digital.
That's just it, digital.
>> All right.
We're going to pause our chat contributions and take a look at the options on the slide, and I've given back your tools.
And let's go ahead and just pick three from the full list.
Again, there's some overlap, but really very distinct differences to some of them.
>> I'd be interested in hearing in chat as we're still doing this, the removal of hierarchy of library types.
Some of you, if you're willing to say more about either why you chose that or what that means to  you, so what is this hierarchy and what's the perception there?
>> That's an excellent one to unpack.
>> There's a cultural misconception about academic libraries doing a higher level of work.
I've worked in academic libraries and public libraries.
I can tell you where I like to sit.
Leadership from the top down.
Also the librarian versus staff.
I'm not a fan of that one.
I don't know if that's what you mean.
To me our patrons don't know the difference.
We're ally Briereians to them.
But maybe I'm misinterpreting that.
You can tell me if I am.
I like -- fight misconceptions in public libraries all the time, what we can take on.
>> Excellent.
I've highlighted three obvious top contenders, it looks like connected is another top one.
Shall we put this -- I know -- there's more there.
I think we'll -- I think that's an interesting one to include, the -- we can maybe unpack the removal of hierarchy library types in our summary for them, but I think that's an interesting one.
I would be interested to see if that plays out in the same way globally in other communities as it does in North America.
So that might be a good one to include.
I think collaboration is always seems to surface too.
So we'll go ahead and highlight that one too.
>> It will be interesting, that would be an -- like I said, I think we should keep thatN one in our report to get some thoughts on that.
>> I don't know about the answer to that one, but I will relate quickly a conversation from our workshop in Washington, DC, so we were libraries or library staff, library type people, from North America.
So the United States and Canada, and we were from alloying types.
And all sorts of library organizations, and I was sitting at the table with a program manager from the public library association, and he was talking about work he had done with African libraries, and how his misperception going in was that they would have all different -- that their issues and opportunities would be different and he wouldn't understand them, and that it would be a real learning opportunity.
And he said it was a lot of the same.
So that was interesting to me.
I don't know how this hierarchy plays out, but that was really interesting to learn from him, to hear the commonalities.
The global commonalities.
>> Yep.
All right.
Let's move on.
>> I think the last question is where we get to start to solve all the problems.
So here we go.
Let's solve the problems, y'all.
What could the focus be of a united library field?
So if we could all come together and have a common purpose and a common focus, what should it be?
>> Okay.
I've got collaboration in all caps.
Good start.
>> Lifelong learning.
>> And open shared resources.
>> And open access.
I think a little different.
>> And information literacy.
>> I like promotion of libraries.
You know I do.
Get it in there.
>> I'm going to put down community involvement.
>> Okay, I've got promotion of libraries.
For Pearson.
>> Strong community engagement, learning by making, advocacy of intellectual freedom, that's  awesome.
>> Connected learning by making.
One of my favorites.
>> It's my focus.
>> I'm going to add improvement with involvement.
Or are those two different?
Community improvement.
I'll do community improvement separately.
>> Yeah, I think that's different from involvement, whereas I see engagement as --
>> right.
>> In line with involvement.
Oh, accepting change.
That's another preservation --
>> world knowledge.
>> That's kind of important.
>> Prototyping.
I'm involved in a project that's all about prototyping.
I'm interested to hear more about what -- who is that.
Anyway, what that comment was about, because I have my own interpretation of prototyping.
>> Do we have anything about diversity?
We have acceptance of diversity.
>> I'll put acceptance of diversity, that's good.
>> Intellectual freedom advocacy.
>> Fostering diversity, even.
That's good.
Not even just accepting, but fostering.
>> There you go.
>> I'm going put education with all learning styles.
Knowing that there's some controversy over learning styles, but I think it's just -- for me more in line with education that reaches effectively all staff in the way that they like to learn.
>> Forgive the spelling errors.
>> You've got intellectual freedom.
Advocacy.
>> You think -- okay, yeah.
>> It's on there already.
I'm going to add flexibility.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> It came in early and then it came in again.
Let's make sure it gets on the board.
Cultural understanding.
>> I'll do that.
>> I like expanding world views.
I know we're out of space, but --
>> we have such a generaltive audience, we're just expanding our space.
>> All right, let's get those check marks at the ready again.
There you go.
>> Can I add net neutrality?
That's huge.
>> Okay.
Save your check for net neutrality if you want to.
>> Coming to a check board near you.
>> There you go.
The other thing I like about this is doing this kind of extreme I cannery by yourself, with your library community can be pretty daunting, and my hope is that having this work done at a global scale and the report, the process of the IFLA work continuing will then come back to us and we can bring it to our community conversations again, and see that global vision, but also then localize it.
So I'm -- I think this is such an exciting process.
You've got some clear guesses -- yeses here.
I'm guessing open access for everyone.
Net neutrality, the last added.
>> Put it in there.
>> Collaboration.
Looks to be pretty strong.
The preservation of world knowledge looks to be pretty strong.
I like how the intellectual freedom advocacy -- sorry.
This is a little tricky.
Shall we go with -- lifelong learning.
>> I think we have a tie between lifelong learning, intellectual freedom, or freedom advocacy.
And preservation of world knowledge.
>> Let's go all of those, and then we can verify if there are any other final checks to your top three there.
Excellent.
Any other thoughts on this one?
Sorry, I added an E to freedom, I just noticed.
>> You added an O, intellectual freedoom.
[laughter]
>> Oh, dear.
It's a new fantasy world, I guess.
>> Okay, everyone.
Well, we have done an amazing job.
Thank you.
I cannot thank you enough.
This was so exciting to see your participation and your obvious passion for this.
So we're going to take a few minutes to wrap it up and cool it down.
We've been so involved in our actual work, that I don't know that we've gotten to know one another.
So if you would like to get to know one another for the next couple minutes, if you want to introduce yourself and say anything about yourself, like where you are, or why you wanted to be involved in this, or what this has meant to you today, we would love to hear that.
We would love to see you guys be able to talk about a couple other things before you're out of here on time.
I think it's -- I would love to know how many of you guys are actually from a small library or rural library.
My library doesn't meet the definition of small, because I serve about 32,000 in my county.
But we're definitely rural.
We're about 50 miles south of Nashville, Tennessee, and about 50 miles north of huntsville, Alabama.
So we've got orland park Public Library.
>> I'm Kieran, I'm from Colorado.
And, yes, Kieran is the incoming V.P. president-elect of ARSL!
So if you're not a member yet, you definitely want to get on it now, because she's going to be awesome.
Columbus, Ohio.
I used to live in Columbus when I worked for OCLC.
That's how I know some of these guys.
Georgia state.
Westchester county, New York.
A city library that serves about 5,000.

Special health library.
Paeabody Public Library, Columbia city, Indiana.
So if you guys have anything else you want to tell us about in chat, any comments you have about this process, any further comments you want to make sure that we get into our report to IFLA, make sure you do that.
We want to make sure we include any special comments you might have, any extra comments you might have.
And remind you on this -- on the slide that's here now what the next steps are.
There is voting right now going on at IFLA through the link that we have here.
Our reports that we -- that I gather here and at the ARSL conference will be added to that.
The voting and the reports will be taken into consideration by IFLA, they'll be publishing a report next year, and then they'll be publishing a work plan.
So all of you who have participated today, this is not the end of the road.
Make sure you stay tuned and that you're looking at the IFLA global vision website to see where they are in the process, and how you can continue to participate so that we can actually put all of this work that everybody is doing across the globe into action.
So I will just say thank you one more time again to everyone, and open it up to see if any of the other panelists would like to say anything before we let you all go early today, and thank you so much for this wonderful experience today.
>> Fantastic.
Thank you so much, Jennifer Pearson, for bringing this workshop experience to a webinar.
We're so excited that you were at that convening in D.C. and thought of us as folks who could help facilitate and as Pearson said, she is going to be in St. George, Utah, in two short weeks on September 7th for two sessions, so if you are going to be there, I'm sure she'd love to have your contributions, knowing that you are an expert at this workshop now.
So be sure to stop by and visit her there, and Betha will also be at the conference on behalf of WebJunction, so --
>> I'm so excited!
>> Check out her session, and she'll be at a table, so be sure and stop by and say hello.
And Kieran will be inAugust rated -- inaugurated as president, so congratulations again to Kieran.
And a reminder too, if you're not yet an ARSL member, be sure to join us at ARSL.info, you can find all the info in the -- definitely put next year's conference on your calendar for Springfield, Illinois.
A nice shift to the center, the very center of the country.
So excellent.
All right.
Thank you all for being here, and we'll follow up with an email later today once the recording is available, if you want to share this with folks, and I will send you a certificate within a week for participating today.
I'll also send you to a short survey as you leave, and it definitely helps us in our ongoing  programming, and we'll also share that with our group here today that helped facilitate.
So your feedback is always welcome.
All right.
Thank you all so much.
I'm going to go ahead and wrap it up and we will look forward to connecting you further down along this global vision process.
Thank you again.
