Week 11 readings

This weeks readings are pretty much the same in content so I'm just going to converge them together. This weeks readings were about the Digital libraries. The articles described the government projects in recent history with grants for funding research online with things like Google. They were able to digitize the collections. I think that digital libraries are important to the future of libraries.The biggest problem that I see with digital libraries is that most libraries and librarians do not have the training or the technology to handle digital libraries.

I agree that the technology and funding in libraries would probably need to improve before many libraries could digitize, or even offer digital materials. Librarians would also need to learn how to digitize and how to use these materials to help thier patrons.
