What do you think librarians do? What do you think would be really cool if librarians started doing it? What do you think the library if the future look like?

ð => Librarians do various types of things in library which can help people to finds the books and various resources or material which are related to the educational research. They helped people to find the actual thing in absolute location at library. Even though they helped people to research things which the librarians are familiar with. Librarians organize thing in chronological order so that people can find things faster. Also they will suggest good website to view for the research paper. They helped new people to sign up and will assist them to make a library card so that people can utilize library property and they can checkout things from library and utilize for different purpose. It would be cool if librarians help students or public people with their projects and assignments. It will be better if librarians helps new people about the basic computer skills so, they can elapse their time by using public property. I think the library in the future will be full of various types of technologies which will may decrease the population of librarians which means employment in library sector will decreases. As the world is running through advanced technology, which means the machine may overtake people and they may start doing things by themselves which will also have negative impact on human being such as economic and employments. In future library will be like a study lab where people can use as study resources to prompt their future to good path where they can be a successful person.

  1. Good post, Chandra. You are not alone in thinking that the future library will have less employees due to technology's advances, but some believe that there will be a greater need for librarians to help people interface with that technology (i.e. learn how to effectively search databases, how to retrieve information, etc). However, I think I agree to a certain extent that as in all careers, there may be a little downturn in employment as more technology is introduced. Librarians have to keep up with technology and continue to adapt and figure out a way to provide even better services using these technologies, and I think we're doing a pretty good job so far! But perhaps we have to do more to advertise these changes as so many people are not aware of what we do these days.
