Hi Jennifer, great post. I totally agree with your statement about libraries evolving. I think there may be a divide between people wanting to look through tangible references and digital references. I personally have never liked searching online for my research and have missed looking at physical journals but I know that doing my research digitally will safe me time and allow me to search much wider. There is definitely a need for libraries to increase information and digital literacy skills so maybe as the digital divide becomes smaller then patrons will seek out digital references services more.
