Future of Libraries

Read Rick Anderson's article about "icebergs" that he perceives are threatening libraries' future success. While I agree that more and more patrons want everything available on the internet, a significant number still want to be able to check out a book and I don't see that changing anytime soon. The challenge has always been to tailor a book collection to a specific local population's needs while staying within a budget and librarians will continue to meet that challenge and, to use his metaphor, sail around the icebergs into a happy future.
