The H2O Librarian 
Well they are trying to be tech savy!
yip aint we all
All libraries should strive to be in the forefront where technology is concerned , or at least on the cutting edge of technology. Libaries are the “grand masters of information” and as such they should be able to impart and share this information in various formats besides print. Whether we want to embrace it or not this is the Tech Age. Our patrons – both the Digital Native and Immigrant expects this of libraries.
I agree 100%
I hope that through this course, you become a little more familiar with how technology can enhance the library’s services.
I will
In this day and age I don’t think there is a choice. We are in the age of digital natives and we need to strive to reach such like ones.
