New techologies and systems seem to hold out the prospect of a complete change in the way information and knowledge is communicated. Google, wikis, e-books, social networking and the rest seem to combine to threaten to make much of the library/information infrastructure irrelevant.
This talk will try to set these developments into context, asking (but not necessarily answering) questions such as:
- what do we really know about people's information seeking in this new environment, beyond Zipf and 'satisficing'?
- is there really a new 'Google generation'? if so, what will they want from LIS?
- are we approaching the 'end of information'? can Google, wikis and social media satisfy every information need?
- what kind of interfaces will be needed for access in the next decades?
- what do we mean by 'ubiquitous information access', and do we want it?
- what is the real purpose of  the library / information disciplines and professions, and what will we be doing in 2030
- what kind of LIS reserch do we need for the next decades
