Computers in Library Patrons

The future of library technology is here! SMS services? Facebook apps? iGoogle widgets? Bah! You may as well ask for a steam-powered velocipede! My place of work, the Johnson County Library, is premiering its new technology initiative for patrons: the brain chip!

Welcome to Tomorrow. It’s an exciting place.

    Ha! I actually wrote (somewhat seriously) about something like that for my very first library science course. I called it the “Experio,” a chip implanted into the brain to give users knowledge of any kind.

    So: Is that page on your live site or is it a dummy?

    It’s live. It’s a front page news story. Wouldn’t you want to make this exciting news as prominent as possible?
