I am a big fan of the free application download section on CNET.com…

I came across a reference to this post from Heather Braum, another Technology Librarian in Kansas, about libraries being archaic.

Also, this article in Library Journal called

Geeks Are the Future: A Program in Ann Arbor, MI, Argues for a Resource Shift Toward IT

is worth checking out -

Both have some points - ones that I lose sleep over…like how do we support the ‘haves’ in our community and how do small libraries find the money for technology.      SueS
