Library 2.0 - The Library of the Future

Libraries are no longer perceived as the place to go and read a book, sit and do your homework, work on a project with reference books piled all around. The library's role has changed over the years and will continue to change. Library 2.0 is just the beginning. Thanks to the Internet, information is available immediately. New technology allows us to interact with websites, make comments, add information, and so on. The library of the future will still be enclosed in a building of some kind. Librarians will still help us retreive information. The difference will be how this information is stored and dispersed to us. The technology of today will continue to advance and the learning process is going to become more and more exciting.
