Once upon a time in a Library

Discovery Exercise
Week 6
Exercise 15

On Library 2.0 & Web 2.0

We are definitely on route to a library experience of the future. We need to remind ourselves that library's are a big thinking tank and in time information will be stored in a temporary place.

If we look to the past, a library was an institution or society that cared for its treasured ideas attained by multiple generations. Libraries have been communites that preserve and promote the creation of new memory, yet not limited of composed collections, but rather conversations of people, ideas and artifacts.

Therefore, Librarians are individuals with a unique understanding and relationship of managing documents they compile and catalog. They are the gate keepers of the intimate knowledge of the minds who produced it.
