W11 reading

The Mischo article was not appealing read for me... I'm not sure what is bothering me in this article. I noticed the difference between Dewey and Repository article. Their end goals were slightly different but their issues were same. Dewey article focused on the digital content and how to bridge the expectations between computer scientists and the librarians. Repository discussed about preserving scholarly works in a long run. As some blogs mentioned the hyperlink rot in Mischo article, this illustrates the challenges of preserving the scholarly works online. The technology field changes rapidly; some issues become moot. As the library makes its transfer to the digital world- I believe it is still possible to have both of best; digital and physical library. This is navigable field, there will be lot of shifts and growing with the technology. Academia will forge on to find solutions.. in another decade, we might look back on the changes and say, wow, we were really anxious. With time, librarians will be proficient and comfortable with technology.
