TASK
Write an essay exploring ONE of the following topics:
What are the greatest challenges for a specific library sector (public, academic, school, special etc.) over the next five years?
What are the greatest challenges for public archives or records management units over the next five years?
What are the greatest challenges for information agencies other than libraries and archives over the next five years?
Identify and describe five challenges
Drawing evidence from scholarly and professional literature and the subject modules, identify and briefly discuss five challenges that your sector is likely to face in the next five years. At least one of these challenges should relate to an evolving Information Technology, and another one on the infrastructure context that is impacting the sector you selected from the list above.
Explore two challenges in detail
Provide a detailed discussion of the IT-related challenge and another one of your identified challenges. For each of these two challenges, you should provide a global perspective first, which is then narrowed down to the Australian context to indicate how the sector is affected locally. In your discussion you should consider the following in relation to each of the two challenges:
Changing professional contexts;
Evolving organisational and societal contexts;
Relevant legal, ethical, and policy frameworks;
Contributions that research and scholarship may be able to make to help solve these two challenges.
You are expected to analyse the literature and modules critically, reflect on what you have read and synthesise what you have learned from the literature and the course modules in relation to both of your identified challenges.
