- Communication is the key to our success
- Description: The ultimate purpose of intranets is to facilitate communication. Unfortunately, present practice tends to use computer technology (ie. intranets, groupware, interactive media, or email) as the sole conduit for communication. Astute librarians will come to realize that these technologies do not replace older means of communication like face-to-face meetings, telephones, or newsletters, but supplement the communications process. Communication is the key to a librarians success and using computer technology is just one way to achieve this goal. Hopefully, future librarians will be less enamored with the "kewl" things computers can do and spend more time using computers to provide the sorts of services the profession and our clientele require.
