"At the Education Department, we now recognize that non-cognitive aspects of early
learning, like the ability to self-regulate and engage in cooperative play, are
crucial to school readiness and success, Rather than treating social and emotional
development and academic development as separate missions it's time to recognize
that they are inevitably linked." Arne Duncan

Subject: Re: Libraries Obsolete
I don't think you are correct that technology is not a library function. When
library science was begun, Melville Dewey used the technology of the day,
alphabetized cards, to make a user friendly interface to search the collection.
When I was in graduate school in 1974 we created a searchable database using IBM
paper cards. When I took classes again in the early 80s we used APL to create a
database of abstracts of journal article that could be searched by the computer.
We are on the cutting edge as a profession but some people fall off the edge before
they are able to get a good grasp of the technology. We are the future if we
choose to be so.
