  16. Transformation
    “Library innovation will transform the individual
    and collective institutions, but more importantly, it
    also will transform communities.”

    —Libraries in the Exponential Age
    ASPEN

  17. Edges
    “The organizational culture of libraries (as is true for
    most companies and movements) enables true
    innovation to occur only on the edge of the organization
    where staffs are less encumbered by expectations of
    maintaining prescribed pathways. The challenge for
    libraries is to shatter the organizational paradigm…”
