The future of libraries

A TL email list alerted me to this recent article in the Herald-Sun (Melbourne).

Books go byte size in digital age by Janet Metlikovec. Herald Sun, 19 February 2008.

Extract:

School Library Association of Victoria executive officer Mary Manning said while the concept of a school library had changed to embrace the digital age, teacher librarians were more important than ever.

"Teacher librarians are still showing students how to access the most appropriate information and use it effectively, even if they are doing it online," Ms Manning said.

"There are still the same issues about information literacy and it is even more important, as there is a lot of misinformation on the internet," she said.
