Libraries, they are a changing. But don't forget about the generation that grew up when libraries meant a building with a door and books on the shelves. Those people will still be with us for some time. And they might go kicking and screaming into the next generation of libraries.
It hasn't been too long ago that we have had a borrower ask where our "card catalog" was.
And she wasn't happy when we told her that our "card catalog" was on the computer.
So much information and so many ways to access it. Libraries should find a way to make everyone comfortable with the new information and new ways.
I guess we have to lead them as they kick and scream.
