Library 2.0 and the Future
I agree, technology will continue to grow and more things will be on the internet, but I don't believe that the print form of the library will ever go away. Like the Just in Case article, there will still be a need for the print form of books and journals. There are many journals and books that are not digitized and can't be accessed on the internet, and maybe someday they will be, but I don't see the print form of the journals ever going away completely. I like Dr. Wendy Schultz's article and how she talks about where libraries are headed in the future. She talks about the library 4.0 phase and that library 1.0, 2.0 or even 3.0 will not go away but be integrated/merged into each other. There are a lot like me that don't own an ipod or PDA. There are many who don't own a computer or CD player, or can't afford to own one. So I for one will still want to hold a book physically in my hand and curl up in a blanket and read.
