[Web4lib] RE: Library/technology item on Beloit College's Mindset

[Elena OMalley]

Oops. That's what I get for reading this list as a digest. Sorry about
the dupe post -- I didn't know Bernie had already beaten me to the punch
with the info on Beloit's list.

In a halfhearted attempt to redeem myself...
I'm not really sure that the class of 2009 really does have the mindset 
that libraries having always been the best centers for computer 
technology and access to good software. Do they believe that is true today?

I suspect they may have the mindset that libraries always had websites, or that
research/article databases have always had web interfaces. If you don't think
they believe that yet, does anyone want to predict what will be the first academic
class of 20xx that will assume that?
