Abstract

AI was a striding colossus of an elephant in the keynote room at CILIP Conference 2023 back in July. During CEO Nick Poole’s closing remarks, a colleague leaned over and asked what I thought. “Keep calm, but don’t carry on as normal”, was my take on the event. I’ve chosen five encapsulating key words to explain why. "Business as usual" has left the building. It’s time to refuel in mid-air, take stock and reflect on a perpetually morphing library, information and knowledge landscape. Relentless change is the new normal, and adapting to it, managing it and initiating it should be our raison d’etre.
