Methods 1 & 2

The increase of technology in libraries does and will continue to have an effect on libraries.  Our library, Maribelle Davis Library, in Plano, Texas has defnitely seen changes not only in our computer use but in the role of the librarian. It is wonderful that we can correspond with our patrons by facebook, blogging and twitter. So many services that require a large amount of time have been eliminated by computers such as card catalogs, the checking in and out of materials just to name a few. However, the role of the librarian will be changing in the future and they will have to reach out to technology and create a new role for themselves.
