The Scholar's Collective is not a place, rather it is a set of tools for the discovery, gathering, creating, and sharing information. It will be web-based and while it will have some traditional library functions build into it, it will not be the library

For most libraries the staff will require technology skill sets that are not possessed by current staff. It is not clear if the best strategy will be to train existing staff, hire librarians who have the required skills, or to hire technologists and instructional designers. I suspect some combination of the latter two approaches will be most successful.
