For all of you who responded to my questions about technology in the
library, thank you.  The information was enlightening and helpful.  The
main themes in the responses are that a SLMS's role changes constantly,
that it involves books and technology, that a balance must be maintained
between the two, and that books will never be replaced by computers.  The
responses made it clear that a SLMS must get (have) the education to be
proficient in many areas including literature, teaching, and information
finding.  He or she must understand both literature and technology so
that each can be used appropriately to satisfy the patron's particular
need at any given time.  Thanks for your input.
