The future is here but not to stagnate. We must adapt and allow change as the needs of our community do. Hard copy is still very much in demand and I can see that having to accommodate all possible choices is impossible in the average library but, a greater import should be on the ease of use of technology for the layman. Allowing the elderly, the very young and the 'just not quite so computer literate' the same access as the geeks to all available information past and present. Libraries are still very much a social outing and books are great in bed but the pressure to know ALL means a need to navigate technology must be as easy as looking up an author and picking a book.
We could start with the language of techno babble - do we really need it or can we make it easier?
