Academic librarians in the past decade have faced so many changes at their working environment. It is certainly NOT our mothers' libraries anymore - you name it - Web 2.0, library blogs, library chat 24/7, library blogs, and electronic resources. The tools we deliver library research and bibliographic instruction classes are very different from when we were students 10 or 20 years ago. Plus we also found that we are now serving different types of students - most of them grew up in a digital environment. Some librarians say that we are now serving the new generation. We, the librarians, have "generation gaps" with our students. Actually we should say that we have both information gaps and generation gaps in our current library world.
June 29, 2010 The Chronicle of Higher Education article called "Overdues at the Library" has very useful information about how we, the librarians, cope with the new library
