Thing 15 - The Library of the Future

I agree with Rick Anderson that we need to find ways to bring our services to patrons rather than insisting they come to us - whether physically or virtually. He suggests that we need to integrate our services in their daily patterns of work, study, and play." I also like the comment that we need to make the search functions easy to use and "eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need, so they can spend as little time as possible wrestling with lousy search interfaces and as much time reading and learning." Our mission is to become an integral part of their daily activities and to provide the needed answers or information.
