Thing #15

I watched the video A Vision of Students Today and it just amazes me to see all of these facts. I loved how all of the tasks equaled 26.5 hours. I sit here and think "How can I best serve these students?" These are the people that will use instant messaging to ask a librarian a question. The best thing I can do is stay current with latest trends, follow blogs, and keep learning. After I read several articles I read from the OCLC newsletter I noticed a general theme of the look of the library is changing! It is more about customer service, whatever the hour. I can go to the library at UHCL without ever leaving my house, I can talk to a librarian without seeing their face, and I can do research without ever opening a book or magazine. School libraries are going to have to do the same thing if we want to reach our students, which are very different students than we were.
