Thing 15: Future of Libraries & Librarians

I read a few articles on the future of libraries and librarians. In a nutshell, librarians need to change/adapt to new technologies so that these new tools of the trade will help with the original intent of this profession: getting information to a customer. As for the building itself, libraries may want to include a business model approach. Or at least "brand" or market itself to show not only the improtance of libraries but also how to use them (the various databases and such). Bottom line: change is here, change will continue. We need to adapt to survive. Unfortunately, traditional libraries are becoming a thing of the past. Digital librarians and libraries are becoming a thing of the future.
