Changing Face of the Library

After reading the article, What is to become of reference in academic and public libraries, I feel strongly that though the face of libraries, reference, and books is most definitely changing, there is as much if not more need for library media technologists as ever before. One thing that kept coming to my mind was this: What will happen to our level of accurate information if no one directs people in the ways and types of information that they are using as answers to their research questions? I think it is kind of scary to imagine people making decisions and basing research on information found on sites that are not regulated by anyone that is capable of determining the accuracy of the presented information. If there is to be improvement and advancement in any profession, areas will have to change to meet the changing needs of the society around it.
