Kim Garnick wrote on her blog Info-maniac:
Libraries need to be up-to-date on technology. If the library is using cutting-edge technology, then peoples' perceptions will change. The library then doesn't just have resources, it becomes a resource. You can't become obsolete, if you are always one step ahead.
So true...as I already responded to Kim, that as we rethink our purpose as librarians and the role that the library plays in many various communities, the public will better come to understand our purpose. I like that Kim said we are a resource. The library where I work is not only a great repository of information, it is also more of a community center now with programs, classes, a place to meet and socialize even (with the requisite coffee shop too!).
