The future is a bit off...

One of my favorite technological issues is also the subject of Dan Wilson's book "Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide To The Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived." This is the notion that we were all supposed to be living in a world filled with Jetson advances like flying cars and robots for housemaids.

My thought today is that some might've thought that libraries would have been transformed from physical locations to digital libraries or virtual institutions by now. Digital libraries like other awaited technology hold a lot of promise for library users.

In the next couple of weeks I will complete a project that will feature some hands on work with digital libraries. My project will examine the utility of digital libraries for users emphasizing access. I will report here on the progress of the project.
