This document discusses trends and transformations occurring in libraries. It notes that libraries now face competition from other information sources and must adapt to technological changes. Some key points made include: - Libraries have transitioned from card catalogs to online public access catalogs (OPACs) to utilizing the internet and web-based resources. - The emerging web is decentralized, multimedia, mobile, social, and two-way rather than one-directional. - Libraries are using social media and their websites to engage in conversation with patrons and provide digital content and services in addition to physical locations.
