Thing #15 Library 2.0

I read away from icebergs and to a temporary place in time. I did not like the first one. I disagreed with almost everything he said. While it is important to keep up with the new and constantly growing/ changing technology, i don't think that it is completely necessary to change the entire focus and actions of present day libraries. The "just-in-case collections" are what the patrons need when they come here! I agreed with the 2nd article better. We are going through some drastic changes but at the end we are likely to be back to the library being the comfotable and the relaxing place to study and reflect. It will not be necessary for it to have turned into the hub of internet information chaneling. It is important to understand and keep up with technology. To help patrons learn about and expand on new technology is an important task for libraries but not the only task.
