The article
Library 2.0: Revolution or Evolution? discusses numerous points of view
regarding the future of the institution we know as the library. With the
emergence of digital technology, the manner in which traditional library services
have been delivered began to change as well. Delivery formats changed to keep
up with the wants and needs of the user. The authors seem to conclude, and I
agree, that the changes taking place do not characterize a revolution.
Libraries will continue to provide services that are similar to their
traditional services, while offering them in a way that meets the needs of
their users. I think it is really the nature of information that is changing. Information
is expanding rapidly and it is being offered in different formats. Libraries
will evolve to provide access efficiently and in a variety of formats., as well
Definitely libraries are just using new mediums to run their libraries more efficiently as well as give patrons what they are interested in.
