[LM_NET] TARGET: Trends or Issues?

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG>]

I'm researching some of the trends and issues in librarianship, and wondered what 
the concensus might be among practicing librarians as to what they believe are the 
trends or issues facing today's librarians / libraries?

How do these trends affect how librarians serve students / teachers?

What do you see as a trend in your library---is it technology?  is it keeping your 
job?  is it outsourcing your collection?  is it just trying to keep up with what 
your job really means to others?

I'd love to hear what you think the trends might be.  I'll post a HIT if others are 
interested.  

Thanks!
