Thing #15

Library 2.0, it's a little scary to some of us older techers. I remember wen card catalogs had cards! But in all honest, i am really excited about the possibilities with technology and the information that i available on the web. Imagine that in the time it would take a person to find one book in the old fashion card catalog, you could google the same topic and find 1.000's of resources. The one article i really liked was Away form the "Icebergs". Anderson really gets to the point of the fact we need to come out of the stacks and rethink research and research. This is one of the best articles i've found that puts things in perspective about where the library is moving and how we need to get there. We can't stand behind counters and tell kids to hush, we need to get out there and get actively involved wiht creating learners for today and the future.
