thing 15

This was informative information about the libraries of the future. The reading on the harnessing of collective intelligencies and WorldCat was interesting. Expanding of libraries reach and resources will be a wonderful resource for students if they are able to tap into worldwide resources. I think librarians will have a hugh responsibility to make sure that students use critical thinking skills and not just believe what is put out on a website. This also applies to teachers needing to always consider the source.

I certainly agree with you! We will all have a responsibility to make sure our students know how to be discerning about resources!

Evaluating all the information that is so readily available is challenging for teachers, librarians and students alike.
