Mischo, W. (July/August 2005). Digital Libraries: challenges and influential work.
This article made me wonder if library science students are prepared to handle the back end of current and emerging technologies, compared to “information technology” or a “telecommunications” students. Althrough I can use the interace, I’m not sure if I could troubleshoot a “bug” in the system. I guess that is what IT departments are for.

As libraries and technology continue to transform I wonder what new possibilities they hold for the actual concept of a book. Will future generations known what the physical container of a book looks like or will it fade away similar to the card catalog. It is not necessarily a bad thing, just interesting.
