Comments on: The Changing Role of Libraries http://melissahoulroyd.info/2009/03/07/the-changing-role-of-libraries/ Libraries, technology, books, & food Sat, 23 Jul 2011 05:02:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Melissa http://melissahoulroyd.info/2009/03/07/the-changing-role-of-libraries/comment-page-1/#comment-334 Melissa Sun, 08 Mar 2009 04:35:05 +0000 http://melissahoulroyd.info/blog/?p=379#comment-334 I did like it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought there would be at least a little tie-in with other sorts of libraries, like public, but there wasn't. I left with a lot of thoughts on how this change will affect public libraries, though, but I'll save that for another post! :) Also during the lecture, a fellow attendee complained about how it seems like a lot of new MLIS graduates don't know a thing, that library schools accept too many too easily, and they'll never get hired. Another blog post to follow relating to that and this LJ article: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA527965.html . Probably! I did like it, but it wasn’t what I was expecting.
