[LM_NET] Libraries Obsolete

[Pamela Thompson <pthomp@SISD.NET>]

Something just said about technology being more sexy than books. Why can't we use 
the technology to make reading and books sexy? Start blogging and link your blog to 
your library webpage. Start a wiki. Start to use the 2.0 tools and get a Facebook 
page.

Think streaming book talks, streaming computer loops of book trailers in the 
library, library advocacy videos, promote the books and libraries using the "sexy" 
technology. There are already great book trailers on Youtube, teachertube, 
booktrailers4all, etc.

What do you think?
