1947 library requests


1947 library requests

Isn't it interesting to see how libraries asked patrons what they want, then we take about 50 years to do it? We can't be slow about things - we need to jump into new technologies and make things happen if we want to stay vital. This was a slide from George Needham's recent presentation at the NCPLDA meeting in Asheville, NC. We also need to ask the question, Why is it that it only takes one author to write a book but 10,000 librarians to catalog it? Hmmm, something doesn't sound quite right here! :-)
