My first blogpost was as follows: My name is Melissa and I love working in the library. The library has changed a lot since I was a child, but it is in response to what the public needs. We are civil servants and our purpose is to evolve with the times. If we are not serving the patrons well, then the library will fail to be seen as a valuable resource. Becoming familiar with current technology is one of the most beneficial things we can do in order to continue to be viewed as essential.
I don't think my view has changed any with the many new things that I have learned. I still see becoming familiar with technology as being an important aspect of working in today's public libraries. We are here to serve the public, and in these increasingly technology-dependent times, we need to be able to assist those patrons who are not as up to date on the technology as we are. If libraries are to survive, we must evolve with the times!
