Okay, so I have been searching for articles on ereaders and the future of librarians. What suprises me is that for the most part the articles I am finding see this as a positive trend with no impact on the librarian and his/her job. I found numerous blogs, too many to list and they talk about how we, as librarians can capitalize on this fabulous technology.
No one mentioned, and I still have more to go, how this might adversly affect the job of the librarian, self-check-out not withstanding. So, I already have preconceived notions about how I think ereaders will impact our jobs. With all the talk we have this week about factors that influence our research I better get over these preconceived notions and understand the outcomes might be completly different.
That is what research and flexible/fixed designed studies are all about, right?
