No.15 Library 2.0 continued

need to take place within the library.I heartily agree,while I can see the need for R.F.I.D's to go forward with technology;I would hate to see the disappearence of a friendly smile,a familiar face and the personal touch.Many older and lonely people visit the library almost daily for a chat and companioship. Michael Stephens says that staff and borrowers needs are respected and staff should have time to play and learn.So Y.P.R.L. is right up there with Learning 2.0.He maintains the best Library Services are always the main goal. In "Away from The Icebergs",by Rick Anderson,Director of Resource Acquisitions,University of Nevada,Reno Library,the changing role of libraries is discussed,and the need to keep up with modern technology,and ultimately less use for printed matter.He sees the need to reach out to the public,whereas in the past,the public came to the library.He feels the need to educate the public to use the library facilities ,in the easiest possible way.
