Thing #16: Library 2.0

I read two of the articles all the way through and skimmed the rest. Some of them were a bit difficult to digest. I consider myself fairly new to the library profession, so a lot of these issues have never really occurred to me. It's obvious to everyone that the world of information is constantly changing, so libraries have to change too. However, there will always be goals and services that need to remain the same, and we shouldn't lose sight of these just because we get excited about certain new technologies that are available to us. Change is only good when done for the right reasons and with a certain amount of caution. Small libraries like ours need to be careful about change just for the sake of change.
