Young Librarians Q and A
Scott Carlson of The Chronicle of Higher Education - Information Technology asks some young(ish) librarians about what will change and what needs to change.
These are the questions he asked them:
- What is the future of the book?
- Will there be a reference desk?
- What information services will be performed by libraries in the future, and what information services will be performed by companies and nonprofit groups?
- Should the relationship between libraries and publishers change? If so, how?
- Does the library profession need to diversify and draw from different populations?
- What is one thing that libraries are doing right, and one thing that libraries are doing wrong?
- How well did your library-science education prepare you for the field today?
What will the academic library look like in the future?
Some familiar names respond.
