Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

"No matter which side of the debate proponents fall, both sides agree that libraries of tomorrow, even five or ten years from now, will look substantially different from libraries today."

For some reason, this sentence caught my eye. And I totally agree with it. JPL offers a lot of library services that are technology based: the downloads, movies and audios; coming from a third world country, i consider the wireless service very technology oriented; JPL now accepts credit cards for fines; almost everything can be done electronically; from getting library cards, to reserving materials and renewing them.

Definitely, libraries of tomorrow will be different from libraries of today.
