Competency 7: Image

Will this be me in a few years in a school library?

I located this image by doing a Google image search of "print versus electronic books." I chose that topic because as a future school librarian, I am incredibly curious about the future of books. I wonder if many books will be replaced with electronic versions as they gain in popularity.

I selected this image because it is actually rather disturbing to me. I love books and can't imagine just discarding so many texts. There are significant advantages to non-print materials, and I imagine that more and more libraries, both public and school,will eventually begin discarding their print materials.

The image was obtained from the following source:
Mayer, A. (2009, September 11). Green benefits of print vs internet. Message and image posted to http://www.recycle.co.uk/blog/green-benefits-of-print-vs-internet/
