Week 6 Library 2.0

I have found reading about 2.0 very draining and depressing.

I think people searching for particular or hard to find subjects the internet will be the only way to go but I also think that reading a hard book will never completely die away. The next generations coming through will easily adapt to all the latest gadgets etc. that the computer will provide and will probably, if never read a hard cover book. Everything that they will require will be at their fingertips on the computer. The computer will be their world, for knowledge and also their social and emotional life.

Librarians that are coming up in the ranks will be much younger and fully immersed in the internet jargon and technology so they won't require a lot of training.
