Week 1 Readings

Week 1 Readings:

I think "Content, Not Containers" was my favorite article.  I especially agree that we as a society do not necessarily care what the information looks like as long as it gets to us fast, conveniently, and with little/to no-cost. On many search engines you can now move your mouse over a link and a little box will pop up allowing you to read the first few lines before you even click on it.
In response to "Content, Not Containers" (p. 6) about libraries needing to find something akin to Google-Answers, I think we have that solution with chat with a librarian.  Many universities have this option and even some smaller libraries. 
I would be interested to see how the predicted 2009 figures in "Content, Not Containers" actually held up. 
The Lied Library article was a little dry, but slightly interesting in the amount of the work involved in running a university library. 
"Info Lit. & Info. Tech. Lit......" was dead-on saying that we need to keep pace with emerging technologies since they permeate everyday life.  I think the statement especially applies to us as librarians in training and is confirmed by what we read in the Lied Library article.
