1.1 ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

I think that it is extremely important to have a program like this to update librarians on new technologies. This is an exciting time for libraries and we have the opportunity to make ourselves very useful in this information age. There is more available information than ever and some people say that because of this libraries are becoming obsolete. I think the opposite of this is true. Librarians are able to sort out this wealth of information and give patrons a manageable amount from credible sources. This is something that is not always easily accomplished and librarians are trained to do so. Libraries and librarians need to find their place in this new world and programs like this are really an excellent way to start.
