Week 6, exercise 15
In Rick Anderson's piece, "Away from the Icebergs", he talks about the need for libraries to change. Areas he focuses on include collections, user training, and use of libraries outside of their physical locations.
I believe that libraries (and the people who work in them) are all things to all people. There will always be those that come to the library for a good book, for help in accessing both print and virtual materials, and for safety, comfort, and socialization. Our challenge is to try to meet all of the needs without loosing sight of who and what we are.
