Trends
● Think micro-careers. The modern information career will be
made up of micro-careers.
● There is no box. Information professionals are doing work
outside of traditional spaces, titles, responsibilities, etc.
● Think tech. The profession and information is going
online/digital/electronic.
● Be a part of the team. The information professional works
collaboratively.
