Library 2.0....a new age in libraries....changing, adapting, rethinking, embracing the advances of technology, the web. Exciting times ahead.
I found Rick Anderson's "Away from the Icebergs" very thought provoking. Working in a small country town library it is hard to imagine my elderly borrowers embracing the advances on the web. Yet the younger generation are growing up with computers and modern technology just like we grew up with the printed book. THEY are the borrowers we will have to serve for the future and they WILL want online ordering, renewals, the latest data....and want it quick and easy. We have to move into the fast lane, keep up with what they are doing and anticipate their next needs so we won't be found wanting. It will require many changes...to our thinking, the way we do things, the ways we offer our services...the list goes on. Exciting times. Where will we go next???
