Week 6 thing 15

Away from the “icebergs” by Rick Anderson
"In the post-print era, libraries no longer have the monopoly power that they had in the days before the Internet. We have to be a bit more humble in the current environment, and find new ways to bring our services to patrons rather than insisting that they come to us—whether physically or virtually. At a minimum, this means placing library services and content in the user’s preferred environment (i.e., the Web); even better, it means integrating our services into their daily patterns of work, study and play." We have been doing this at CCPL with IPAC. I love showing our patrons how easily they can get that Consumer Reports article free from anywhere w/their library card. They love it and it's fun. But all of the articles are written by highly savy users and I am only tapping the surface, therefore, I can't add anything else at the moment.
