My excitment knows no bounds!

I am so excited I finally found some articles that speak to the issues I see with e-readers and the future of the librarian. What I did not expect is that most of them talk about technology as a whole so I am going to change my topic and broaden it a little to include more of the technology side of information with an emphasis on e-readers and how they will affect the roll of the librarian. It is still exciting to see this coming together and know I am onto a solid track of research that others have a strong interest in.
Another issue for me has been that we are in the process of launching the e-reader website part of our public library program so I am seeing this affect first hand and learning how to use the technology. So far the resources are very limited for those of us who have Kindles but it is interesting to see what has been made available and how this will affect the patrons I talk with on a regular basis.
I am looking forward with encouragment now. I also think the whole area of research is fascinating and love the resources available on the ALA website!
