15th Thing / Web 2.0 & Library 2.0

So much to think about. Reading these articles gave me an even deeper appreciation for our forward thinking LTS staff and Administration. All of the
technology upgrades, changes, Koha, helping customers to help themselves, even
this training opportunity, are designed to move the library into the future. I
do think we serve a very technologically diverse population. There will always
be users who are leaps and bounds ahead of the pact and users who lag far
behind (just last week, a thirties something parent was lamenting the lack of card catalog). Ideally, the role of libraries and librarians will be to remain flexible in a ever changing workplace and embrace lifelong learning to keep pace with the majority of library users.
