Well...I don't claim to know a whole lot about what libararies have or should have as far as a collection or virtual collection, but I think that libraries need to move in the same direction and at the same rate (as is reasonably possible) as technology.
Many patrons are well-versed in technology advancements and expect librarians to be able to keep up with that knowledge. Technology is out there for all of us. Technology is not a foreign media; it's accessible and available to the vast majority of our patrons. Those without internet access at home can certainly come to our library and use ours...and they do.
With the internet, there should be not subject, question, or idea that can't be explored. Web 2.0 seem to be making it easier to navigate, thus enhancing and increasing learning.
