Reinventing Ourselves as Internet Librarians
4 likes1,654 views
The document discusses how librarians need to reinvent themselves to adapt to changes in technology and information resources while still utilizing their existing skills. It outlines many new skills and technologies librarians should learn like HTML, CSS, wikis, and more while still relying on traditional skills in organization, teaching, and reference services. The document advocates that librarians absorb new technologies but not forget their strengths from the past or ignore failures, and that they maintain a balance between old and new skills and resources.
