I completely agree with Michael Stephens in that it is increasingly important for library users to be able to access their library easily from wherever they are (eg from home,work). With our library,our website can be accessed from a computer anywhere and even from a mobile phone. I am very much anti-technology "for the sake of new technology" and I like Stephens emphasis on being sure new technology is most useful for library users and that it creates a "useful service" (rather than being just fancy new technology).
I think John J. Riemer's ideas of incorporating popular aspects of google and amazon into library services are excellent. This phenomenon of casual "tagging" (which I am getting my head around) is just going to get bigger and more relevant to the way we search for things online.
I think the potential for growth and change in libraries is very exciting.
