Where ARE we going???

Reading the articles found in Web 2.0 I am discouraged and yet encouraged. Discouraged that more people are not reading the great books in our "just in case" collection. I agree withRick Anderson (Away from the "icebergs"),our monoploy power of information has indeed shifted and we need to prepare ourselves for the future. While this will mean a great deal of innovative ideas on the part of Librarians and staff we should embrace this opportunity to "get on the boat" with the rest of the world and not be left behind.
So I am encouraged that we recognize the problem and that is a big step toward solving it. This is not a new problem by any means. It has been experienced by educators, politicians,businesses and parents. How to keep up with the constant demand of change. So while we may not be leading the way we are all in the same boat to the destination of knowledge and information and thats a good thing! Blog on!
