When literacy emerged the library was indeed a place for learning and practice and the librarian was a mentor for those who wanted to learn. In those days the people where often rich (I´m talking about 4000 - 200 years ago) and in special positions. We are in the beginning of the digitally literate age and the role of the library is like the role of the school in a flux. Borders are changing, dissolving or merging. Maybe the library has a role in teaching digital literacy just because it is the best place for it? Maybe this will only be a transitory phase and when digital literacy is finally integrated in schools, kindergartens and everyday life, this role will dissapear from the library, but in the mean time I think that information is our core business and that we should work on any issue that stops our users from accessing what they need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122951048417545135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054198.post-1124888457959032092005-08-24T09:00:00.000-04:002005-08-24T09:00:00.000-04:00I think this is very close to the centre of the qu...I think this is very close to the centre of the question of the digital divide and the role of the libraryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122951048417545135noreply@blogger.com
