On February 23, 2007 Alberto Ríos, Regents’ Professor of English, Arizona State University, gave the closing keynote to FORO 2007. He asks, “In the next century, so hungry for answers and so fearful of ideas, how do we move forward? And more than that, how do we move forward together?”
Along with self-reflective anecdotes, Alberto sends out six hopeful challenges to librarians as caring and thinking people:
Diversity: It is not a goal but a means by which we will arrive at something greater than we currently understand.
Invisible Populations: We need solutions not laws
Economics: We must move from a money economy to an idea economy.
Dialogue: We need to move back to true conversation. Half of language is listening. Are libraries listening and do they know how to listen?
Languages: With many languages come many answers. Languages are a richness and a solution, not a problem. Words are ideas, and ideas lead to vital and evolving solutions.
Education: It never fails us. An educated person learns how to solve problems. We will pay for education, but it always pays us back.
“Every pencil is filled with a book. It’s my job to know that, to believe it, and to act on it.” – Alberto Ríos
