Thing 2:thoughts on 2.0

So, here are my thoughts on the 2.0, I love that libraries are up to date with technology, and even beyond our times. The scary thing is that our books, is what makes our libraries. I know the good old card catalog is long gone and we have the computers taking over. We now have books on the computer you can download to your MP3 player, Ipod and even have a play-away pluse much, much more that I don't even know about. These are all wonderful and great resources for our patrons, at the same time are we making it to easy to avoid the library altogeather? Back to my book issue, are we taking for granted the injoyment of reading? ( Out of a book, literly) I just hope that technology dosnt take over our books, and we still need the book stacks and not walk in to a library and all you see is computers with head phones and digital people talking to you. but real live peole with real books..were only on 2.0 but what about 4.0 the neo Library with 3-D librarians? This said by Dr.wendy Schultz: Library 4.0 revives the old image of a country house library, and renovates it: from a retreat, a sanctuary, a pampered experience with information—subtle thoughts, fine words, exquisite brandy, smooth coffee, aromatic cigar, smell of leather, rustle of pages—to the dream economy’s library, the LIBRARY: a WiFREE space, a retreat from technohustle, with comfortable chairs, quiet, good light, coffee and single malt. You know, the library. ( with no books?)
