I found this article on www.fno.org
called "Why we still need libraries and librarians"
This article was very eye-opening about the need for our current librarians to set up their game to keep up with the growing spread of technology and internet. In this article it stated that many people are asking why we even need libraries and librarians when we have things like smart phones and easily accessible internet almost everywhere we go. The article gives a pointers of how a librarian can change, for example becoming more tech savvy and also emphasizes doing things a computer simply cant do. Things like being storyteller, a magician, things like that.
-What i learned from this article is that people are starting to rely way to much on technology and it might not always be there to help you find what you are looking for.
-What i want to continue to learn about this matter is how current librarians are dealing with the technology transition. I would like to read an article about personal testimonies from librarians and their tips & tricks on how to out-smart technology.
