The Next Big Thing
Tech Consumer has an article that predicts what will be the next big thing after Web 2.0. The article believes that the next trend will be towards mobile access of information with a local flavor. Nice.
But really what the prediction truly speaks about is organization so that links are built offering connections between different sources of information. And who does that sort of information gathering, sorting and cataloging best? Well, that would be us librarians wouldn't it? All the more reason that we need to stay abreast of the newest technologies so that we are poised and ready when this trend emerges.
What a perfect trend for us to take advantage of! I can really see this as a way to get those who are not excited by blogs and wikis on the bandwagon for new tech in libraries! Now let's just hope the prediction turns out to be correct.
