Methods 1 and 2

These articles made me reflect upon discussions of technology when I first started library school twelve years ago. At that time I made my first email address and the Internet was still young. We discussed that technology was widening the gap between the haves and have-nots and that the library's increasing responsibility would be to span that gap. That has occurred and continues to occur. With the advent of new technology comes the need for training. This is another area in which the library can assert its relevance and usefulness, by taking on the role of teacher. Therefore, the future holds increasing gaps between the haves and have-nots and increasing gaps between those with technological know-how and those without. The library has to potential to fill both of those gaps.
