Certainly it is easier to access information than ever before. You can access library services from your own home or your own device.
But school libraries will always have a big role in a school. One comment stood out for me:
"The role of a librarian will be more to teach students how search properly in the ocean of information and to evaluate the value of the source of the information."
I've noticed this in my work to date. Some students don't know where to go to begin their research for a learning task. They need a librarian to sift through what is available and provide a recommendation or the skills that they need to undertake an effective search. I also encourage students to reflect on what they have used in their learning and determine their relevance to the task at hand.
Libraries support the technology driven curriculum. Some would say this reduces the need for one to visit the school library. This is where libraries also have a big role to play. Why? They can provide the resources that one needs to create information. It might be the mp3 recorder that they need to create a podcast or seminar rooms to create a presentation that they might present to a class. We can also guide one in how to present that information as well.
