5. “Traditionally, libraries also suffer from an
image problem. Hordes of books coupled with
the 'sshhhh' factor doesn't make for a very cool
environment. By installing colorful interiors
such as oversized book sleeves, a learning
space such as the library is transformed into an
area which kids see as cool, and therefore are
inspired to read and learn.”

6. Generational change
“…is radical change that occurs in an
organisation or a population as a
result of its members being
replaced over time by other
individuals with different values or
other characteristics.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generational_change
7. Generational change
“…generally presents both a real and a
perceived crisis.
In an organisation, the unspoken cultural
values held by the longer serving members
may be challenged, threatened or
abandoned by newer members. In an
ecological system, generational change of
the representatives of one species may
threaten the survival of other species.”

“The Softbridge will house
a lecture theatre and the
library, taking pressure off
the old, bursting-at-the-
seams facilities. Other
goals are to provide a
better research
environment for students
and to connect
the academic and public
functions of the institute.”
17. Building strategic networks,
partnerships & relationships

30. iCentre – Brand
‘the brand’ can help us re-engineer
what we do
iCentre brand = a dynamic, responsive,
fluid ‘instructional zone’ within & beyond
the school
a learning centre of information, inquiry,
innovation, immersion & instructional
intervention
supports connectivity & collaboration,
critical engagement & creativity,
construction & consolidation
31. iCentre – Brand
strengthens the home–
school nexus
pedagogy fuses the work of
information, technology &
learning specialists across
the curriculum
where key information,
technology & learning
leaders within a school
combine to consolidate
their efforts http://edu.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451f00f69e20133

Branding starts with goals; all
successful brands are aspirational.
They aspire to be something.
To begin building your brand, you
need to have clearly developed
objectives for what you want
your company [or school] to look
like in the next year, five years,
and ten years.
