The tradition of the Stellenbosch University Annual Library Symposium of being a platform for discussing new library and information services and developments will continue at the 14th Annual Library Symposium in November 2016. The discussion will be turned
to the shaping of the academic library of the future. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of adapting to users’ needs, adapting to new roles as librarians, adapting as a library, empowerment of staff and clients and the importance of partnerships and
engagement.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

The theme is partly based on the recent OCLC report, <i>Shaping the Library to the life of the user: adapting, empowering, partnering, engaging</i>. In this report it becomes clear that “research and learning needs are changing. Higher education is reconfiguring.
As a result of these massive changes, the library must pivot and adapt”. The following core themes are mentioned in this report: to empower users, to empower the library, form partnerships and to engage the campus community. The report advises libraries to
be able to “move from offering a fixed set of services to a ‘constant beta’ mode of service evolution”.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
