Over the past week, though, a couple of pieces started to solidify enough to allow better contemplation. I was especially drawn to an article from an academic about academic libraries that I commented on last week. The author, Joe Monninger, isn’t writing about L2, but does notice something that I think is critical for school librarians to think about: younger students may not see libraries as information sources. This isn’t because of some Library 1.0 thing, or a failure by libraries or librarians, but rather because of the changing nature of information and education.

Michael, focuses on the academic connections in the article, but I was more drawn to the author’s view of the upcoming academic customers - our current high school students. Joe Monninger, described as “a library’s favorite patron” is talking about the quibbling in academia over the definitions of “book” and “publish” as related to things like LuLu.com and blogging. Then he backs up a bit and looks at more reasons why I keep suggesting that we need to move beyond “book.” Younger people, naturally, find all of this equivocating silly. They know where they are going to look for information, and it sure as heck isn’t the library — at least not the library as it currently exists. In a healthy way, perhaps, they don’t make distinctions about information. They use it, then move on. Sometimes that gets them into trouble when they are not discerning enough about the internet source of information, but that’s a relatively small price to pay for the rapidity and ease of availability. Ask a teenager what’s playing at the movies, and she or he will go to the net to find out, not the local paper or phone book. Ask him or her to write something about Hamlet, and they are going to Google Hamlet and get back to you. The quaint trip to the library in the roadster with Betty Sue — and a malt afterward — is doubtless a thing of the long past.

A reprint of an incredible article written by a library user:

The University’s Reading and Writing Center is housed in the library, and the planning board for the library has just completed designs for bringing in a coffee shop, similar to Starbuck’s, onto the library’s ground floor. The entire building now is wireless, meaning you can take your laptop into the coffee shop, drink a cup of Joe, and surf the library at UCLA, or the Sorbonne, or Harvard — at least in principle. You can also pop in a DVD and watch a movie, or you can download music from any number of sources, grabbing rap, jazz, or classical as the mood strikes you. And nobody, by the way, is going to worry overmuch if you happen to spill a little of your bagel on a book you’ve borrowed. The former sacredness of library collections, governed by the severe librarians who served as priests, is finally being deflated.

Amen!

This article speaks to the very nature of the changes we face in adapting to new technologies and how we get our information. You hit many nails on the head. I especially liked your final thought: 'Library walls will come down, and those rows of books, still lovely, still beautiful, will take on new life.' Yes indeed!
