What We Need http://librarygarden.net/2006/04/08/library-ce-what-we-want-v-what-we-need/ An ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth) but one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries.

I think Web 2.0 and all of its issues, sites, and possibilities will be a hot topic for the forseeable future and right now I am having a hard time seeing beyond it. But if you read my post today on Webaroo (and the spinoffs that are sure to happen) that might start to give us an idea of where the future is heading.

I hope there is someone out there that can answer your not-so-rhetorical of “what’s next” for both our sakes.

For what it’s worth, I do see the same trend happening in training for the public at our library — what they want and what they need is becoming an issue when planning classes. Hmmm… you have certainly got me thinking on this one.
