Thing 15

Technology has changed the way people communicate, research, work and learn in today's world. I see the need for the library's to transform to the patrons needs, especially the younger crowd. My daughter is currently in seventh grade and all of her textbooks are on a laptop that she carries to and from school each day. My daughter has projects in every class that are technology based. It is important that libraries start to make the change to meet the needs of these types of students who will seek information from home rather than stepping foot in the local library. I think it is equally important for those working in the library to stay educated on the WEB 2.0, in order to serve all the patrons who seek help.
