Library 2.0

I am getting old and set in my ways, but even I see that libraries will have to change their ways to keep up with the changing technologies and the way that today's information is being accessed and used. No longer do we head to the library to look up information in the encyclopedia, but are more apt to get on the internet to do research. You are more apt to see a reference book being replaced with a database or online sources. It is obvious that libraries will have to move away from the traditional way of the past and change to the needs of the future users. It will take a balance however, to meet the needs of all the generations. There are still a lot of users who just want a good old book, not electronic book. It seems that it will take carefully planning to move ahead to make the library a place where everyone's needs are met.
