I have felt for many years that the world of libraries as we know it is changing everyday. Even small library systems are techno savey if money is available. Libraries and librarians will need to continue to evolve and seek new technology to meet customer demands and needs. They will become trainers as much as reference librarians. (Haven't you seen this over the past few years?)
Having been a librarian for more than 25 years I can relate to the "Away From Icebergs" article in that many of us save or keep something just in case you might need it someday.
To allow me to keep up with todays technology and customers needs is one of the reasons I took this class. Some of the concepts I had already ecountered for various reason but this class has helped me fill in some of the blanks.
Also becasue of the changing ways libraries are doing business I am taking the PL/Ask a Librarian class to be able to do e reference.
