| Abstract | ||||
| The collection, analysis, processing and dissemination of information to monitor the scientific and technological reality in order to identify risks and threats and seize opportunities and adapt the possibilities of development to discover the future is necessary and important in library institutions and information centers since the best way to change and face the future living libraries and institutions is to work to discover and innovate this future. It has always been said, “the best way to predict the future is to invent it.” Strategic vigilance is the collective process by which individuals use and forecast information about changes that are likely to occur. Foresight is the set of studies and research that reveals potential problems in the future and predicts the priorities that can be identified as solutions to address these problems. This study provides a scientific and systematic effort to formulate a set of conditional expectations or Scenarios that include the main features of the phenomenon based on strategic vigilance in anticipating the future of library and information institutions. Strategic vigilance helps library institutions to continue and exist in the new environment as long as it is best management practices that we need in forecasting, discovering, monitoring, and learning which ultimately provides an open information system on the new environment and rapid changes and helps to make decisions by observing and analyzing the reality and predicting the future, whether scientific, technical or even economically through the method of scenarios. | ||||
