So more than half way through the learning 23 things. Covered a few topics about emerging technologies and how these may or may not effect libraries. I was just reading an interesting article on Libraries and Facebook.com. Now I have never used Facebook (it's mostly a social networking site in the States for university students) but it highlights many of the issues libraries faced with a new way that students in this case get their information.
I think it would be VERY silly to think that we may know it all in library land or to ignore what is really happening out there. Doing something like this has brought to my attention many things I thought I knew everything about. What was true last month doesn't really hold anymore. There are always better, faster methods showing up for the delivery of information. Just wait until the mobile internet kicks off!Read Stephen Abrams website from SirsiDynix and be surprised just how much is out there. Add it to your RSS feeds so that it checks for new posts each day. Get with it.
