What I got from this perspective is that it is a case of "When in Rome Do As the Romans Do"! If we don't we stagnate. It is too bad that we cannot be a monopoly on information as we once were but since we have to provide our patrons with the best source for their needs it is only natural that we should become more internet savy. We should also provide our patrons with the education necessary for them to be able to access this information.
As the article stated that there has been a 55 percent drop in circulation rates over the past twelve years so I guess we should make way for more computers in the space that the books once were.
The bottom line is that we must move forward with the times and be on the cutting edge and one of the best sources of information once again
