Library WebHead is the blog of one librarian who focuses on web technologies (per a former colleague - a library "webhead"). In it, our webhead talks about the work she's doing with that library's website, which is, inevitably, a work in process! She also highlights some of the latest trends in web development and libraries. The views expressed here are the library webhead's only and do not necessarily represent those of her employer (or of any other organization or person).

Of the places you'll go, is the library still one of them?
An article recently appeared on the Wall Street Journal site that once again reminds librarians that they have got to move forward & do so quickly. The article notes that the up-and-coming generation prefers to buy books than to borrow them and that they choose to find information online whenever possible (rather than to look in a library)... so where do we librarians fit in their world? what can we do to remain relevant? these key questions - cliche though they may appear - remain unanswered.
