I love Dr. Wendy Schulz's article on the future library experience. She calls library 1.0 the commodity, having books. Library 2.o the product, being able to have library information anywhere. Library 3.o service, 3D participation in customrer relationships thus creating a need for librarian "superstars." Finally, library 4.0, experience in a multimedia surrounding of entertaining information with relaxation component of a spa atmosphere; quiet comfortable chair with no distractions ...you know, like the library.Also loved Teachertube video, you can catch a better quality video by clicking link, to show that education methods need to change to meet needs of technologically comfortable students.
What this all means for librarians is that they need to be the catalyst to help change an archiac education system. In leadership roles, librarians must guide teachers & students into learning 2.0

Yes! My goal for the coming year is to be that catalyst! Wish me luck!
I enjoyed this article too, but it makes me wonder about our future. Are we going to have to become librarian superstars whom people search for because everyone is reading everything over the web? What do you think?
