Week 6 : #15 On library 2.0 & Web 2.0 ...

It was interesting to read these articles about where Web 2.0 can take libraries into the future. Once borrowers learn how to use these search features for finding information I can see how print material may become a thing of the past. The again, I also believe it depends on the type of borrowers your library caters to. We have a large LOTE population as well as a growing elderly population who wouldn't embrace this new technology. We would have to find a way to balance using this technology without alienating borrowers who simply just want to come in, browse the shelves, have a quick chat and take home a pile of good books to read.
