flickr, technology and me

greetings,

i am getting more at ease with flickr.
i think libraries can post pictures of events at the library, connected to selective blogs and talk about what libraries can do for patrons' needs.

technology is such a broad word to use, especially when it comes to organizing, processing and retrieving information.
the organization part is something all library and information services should strive for. the lack of organization is become a serious problem, especially for researchers. it is very frustrating to not be able to navigate through information. organizing is a key to effective library use.
processing information is where hardware technology comes into play. it is surprising that any companies invest in hardware for listening to books. much like a mp3 players, a library user would love to have a small device to download books and carry it with them wherever they go. i don't fear the end of the book, so let's expand the possibilities for new technology and information for fun or business.
retrieving information is much like the organization of information. gathering selective information is crucial for researchers and other information seekers. time is so important today and it is important for libraries recognize that efficient and effective information gathering will bring more people into the library and take advantage of all of our resources.

=)
