I've been reading some of the essays in Library 2.0 and Web 2.0. Wendy Schultz' essay, To a temporary place in time... caused my head to spin a bit, but the concepts, to the extent I can understand them, are thrilling. I just hope I'm still around to be a part of Library 4.0.
The icebergs Rick Anderson talks about are another thing altogether for me. I understand the need to keep pace with the innovations provided by technology and demanded by our patrons. At the interface represented by our local libraries I think we will need to move forward with alacrity or be left in the dust. Nonetheless, I have to say that somewhere, somehow, the tried and true hard copies need to be maintained and preserved.
About Me
- Musings with a Purpose
- A student and admirer of the natural world who also finds himself immersed in global popular culture and politics, and the degree to which the behaviors of the latter human behaviors effect the survivability of the natural order. Maybe, as many Christians believe, man is the master of his domain (i.e., all other species and earthly materials are subordinate to his will). Unfortunately, we know in the 21st century of the modern world, that mastery includes the ability to destroy mankind as the species exists today. Wake up people -- find the means to love one another before it's too late.
