Open Source Information

Since I have joined OCLS, technology has changed the way I provide information. For instance, I can now refer to or recommend various online databases (I am amazed at the resources provided through the OCLS site). Also, I find it fascinating that the library can keep in touch with patrons in new ways, such as through text messaging.
As technology makes information more open source, libraries should be open to this change and willing to experiment with it to see where it takes us. Perhaps new advancements, such as editable sources of information (such as a wikipedia-type site), can be taken to new heights within library systems. In addition, I think technology can create a more "global" feel for libraries. Locations all over the world will have the ability to communicate in new and different ways and can bring us together like never before.
Finally, when I search my name online, I find many people with the same name... but, I have yet to find myself. :)
