From the reading list we were given:
Away from Icebergs
Into a new world of librarianship
To more powerful ways to cooperate
To better bibliographic services
To a temporary place in time
I have decided to comment on the first one.
I find that a lot of patrons are already expecting to find everything online. But you do need to balance this with the student who finds the online environment hard to handle and would prefer to find the information in a traditional manner. Eventually everything (well almost) will be in the online environment and we do have to prepare for the future if we want Libraries to still be relevant to our clients. It is a juggling act at present, but the scales are very quickly tipping in favour of the online environment.
