Far from becoming keepers of the keys to the Grand Database of Universal Knowledge, todays librarians are increasingly finding themselves in an unexpe

At the newly remodeled San Francisco Public Library, the computers are prominently displayed in the center of the Library building while the books are all but hidden on the periphery. Imhoffs own library has word processing and other types of softwar

8、ons roles by pointing to the public demand for these new services. But other trends are at work, too. Can computers really help visitors to find what they want?For some time, libraries have been automating their back-end, behind-the-desk functions for reasons of cost and convenience, just like any o
9、ther business. Now, the computers have moved out from behind librarians desks and onto the floor where the visitors are. This means that, suddenly, library-goers will have to know how to use those computers.This sounds reasonable enough until you take a close look. Unfortunately, the same technology
10、 that cuts costs and relieves librarians of work behind the scenes increases it for the public-and for the librarians at the front desk who have to help the public figure out how to use the technology. The unhappy result: People are simply not finding the information they seek.If you are just coming
11、 to the library to read a book for pleasure and you know what a card catalog is and you have some basic computer skills, then you are going to be OK. But if you are trying to find some specific informationsay, whether software in the classroom helps kids learn belter or the causes of lung cancer or

As a result, the public library is now engaged in a massive attempt to teach computer literacy to the enth-e country. Some librarians compare it to the adult literacy programs the library
16、 also sponsors, but this is on a far larger scaleand less closely tied to the librarys traditional mission.What do libraries do to help visitors to get prepared for the future libraries?The response at each library system has been different. Some libraries actually give courses in word processing, a
17、ccounting program and so on. But even at libraries where the staff has resisted becoming computer trainers, they are still forced to devote significant resources to the problem.Such has been the case in San Francisco, where people with disabilities can sign up to use the voice-recognition program Dr

The librarians have neither the time nor the peculiar skill (nor the time to develop the skill) to teach it to them. At the reference desks, librarians try not to spend a lot of time teaching people the basics of how t

Its certainly a big problem. “The San Francisco Library offers classes on its own electronic catalog, commercia

Although it seems odd to me that people now need to take a two-hour class before they can use the library, the classes are always full. But despite the excellent teachers, two hours is simply not en

Libraries own trouble“Providing technology does not mean people can use the technology,“ says Marc Webb, a San Francisco librarian and on
