Interviews by Librarians about the Future of Libraries
Posted by dhotchkiss under Library 2.0, Programs and ServicesI read an interesting post in DegreeTutor.com that interviews a number of library leaders on the future of libraries and librarians. Many of the questions centered on what features in libraries are useful, not useful; the changing role of librarians in the community; implications of Web 2.0 technologies on libraries; competition (or even copying features from libraries) from the business community and much more. These are relatively short articles from thirty librarians including Michael Stephens, Helene Blowers, Loreine Roy (ALA President), and many more. The interviews provide an excellent forum for us to think about our place in today’s information community.
