Week 6, Thing 15: Library 2.0

I read all articles and think that the futurist had the best perspective. Yes, libraries can be the source of digital information and collections. (Even when I was in college back in the stone age the name of the librarian degree was "Information Science" not "Book Science.") But if libraries are to remain viable, they must see the forest, not the trees. Libraries are not just collections; they are places to meet, introduce children to reading, find respite, etc. Maybe, like the futurist says, the library of the future will absorb 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0!
