I originally watched "The Machine is Us/ing Us" a few months ago, and just watched it again. I was surprised at how many things I now recognize because of participation in 23 Things.
After reading several articles about the future of libraries, I wonder if we will stop maintaining reference collections and devote our resources to popular materials. While I was at the MAPLA Conference in 5/07, I attended a session hosted by several librarians who had visited the library systems in Hong Kong and Singapore. One librarian noted that these systems had "surrrendered to the internet." At the time I did not fully appreciate the statement, but now understand how the future of libraries could change dramatically.
