The article “In Web Age, Library Job Gets Update” is about how information on the web has changed the way librarians teach children how to research. The age of the web has changed from careers to education.
What I thought was interesting about this article is the fact that Librarians are being trained to become multimedia specialists. They learn how to use the internet and certain programs that children will need to for their education. They teach the students how to make PowerPoint presentations, how to make videos and how to use the internet for research as an additional source. The Librarian Ms. Rosalia also warns her students that not everything on the internet is true and that is why they have to research carefully and use multiple sources to support their work.
The internet has changed the world in many forms and this one of them. Books are no longer the only way to research. The internet has multiple sources, you can find, articles, books newspaper articles etc.
