Five interesting articles. Some great ideas for those who know how to make it happen.
I find myself wanting to clasp firmly with both hands to what I currently know and understand. I have some concerns about the reality of participation and interactivity of our clients with our systems, loss of control and integrity, but at the same time I am aware that the library world as I know it has to transform in order to remain part of our rapidly changing environments.
I'm sure it is a lack of knowledge on my part as much as anything, I imagine some parts of our systems will be locked down and kept secure. Over time my concerns may become irrelevant and I will have to adapt or be swept along in the current of change.
Policy change usually does not keep pace with changes in technology and policies will vary according to the environments we work in and the clientele we serve. I feel that
libraries do aim to provide the pertinent information in a timely manner, but these articles suggest that we need to be better able to meet the information needs of our clients when and how they want it.
