Week 6, Thing 15: The future of libraries

I couldn't help but read all 5 perspectives on Library 2.0 from the OCLC. It was very interesting and provacative reading. Technology is definitely advancing quickly and libraries must keep up in order to stay relevant. Reading these articles reminded me of the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson. Change is hard and many people like to stay right where they are. I know, because I am one of those people! However, you must change ("move with the cheese") in order to keep up with the times. I liked reading all the different ideas people had for Library 2.0 even though some of them seemed really far out there to me. It will be very interesting to see what libraries look like just 10 years from now.
