Blog Post 1. Library in the digital Age.

My thoughts on library in the digital age is, that with the changing times where technology is growing at a rapid speed, we all think that if we don't keep up with the times, we might get left behind. But in this case, we might not because our libraries provide a means for people without computers at home can always come to the library and have a chance to have their hands on whatever technology they have to keep us in the loop. Even though people may not have the basic technology at,  they can come to the library to use the internet to keep in touch with family, friends, type out resumes, and do job search. The library has stepped us their game in order to keep people in the loop.

Blog Post 2. Library as social hubs.

My thoughts on the library as a social hub is very exciting, most of the time people go to the library to read a good book, search the internet, do research, talk with family members across the country, or even in the next state, but other than just that people come to the library to meet up with their friends to hang out, play video games online and so on. The library is not what it used to be back in the days. We had to deal with either a lady who wore her glasses on the tip of her nose and would give you a mean look soon as you make a loud sound. These days we still respect the librarian, who is not as rigid as the old days. The library is the best place where you can do most things where information is concerned. The library is not for the faint of heart but for those individuals who like to keep in touch and do research.

Blog Post 3. Libraries and the Digital Divide.

Now, in this time where information is floating around and people are always looking for information, it was hard to do research back in the days because the library only had computers for library personnel only. While if you wanted to search for information, you would go searching in the numerous books just to find what you need. Now in this era, all you would need to do is walk in the library and pull up a chair to the computer and type in a name and number, then as you type in what you need, a wave of information comes up and all you have to do is click on the information that suits your needs. This digital divide is not that confusing, it just gives people that didn't have a computer the access to information and breaks down the barrier that would divide those who have and those who don't have access to the inter net.

Blog Post 4. The demise of school libraries.

This is one subject that puzzles me, Why would anybody want to do away with libraries in schools.
How are the kids suppose to do their home work or study while in school? That does not make no sense. If the children in schools don't have a place to study during school time other than when they get out of school, do you know what kind of caos there would be with children skipping school to go hang out and Lord knows what kind of trouble they would get into. I know, because I didn't used to go to the library to do my studies. The library is very important to children in schools, it teaches them good study skills, gets home work done, keep children form getting into trouble and gives them structure. I don't know what other people about trying to do away with libraries in schools, but I know for a fact that would be the biggest mistake to take libraries out of schools.
