Librarian’s Corner

2

Facebook, Twitter, Multiply, MySpace,

Flickr and more. These networking sites

are now getting into the world of the

academe. And being specific, in the world

of library development. Truly, these sites will be of great

help in the development and improvement of library usage

and management.

Librarians, like us, belongs to the modern day of

computer and the World Wide Web or in another term the

“Web 2.0 World”. This fact gave birth to the new name of

librarians from being a traditional librarian to being a

Librarian 2.0. It is true that whether we like it or not,

influence of the modern websites is coming on their way to

invade our libraries. Social Networking Sites (SNS) and

computers on many ways can be of great help to us for these

some reasons: (1) over the past few years, there has been a

huge focus on libraries and social media; (2) technology and

social media affect the tasks and work of a librarian;(3) social

networking sites allow exchanging and publishing of

comments, questions, and concerns in an ongoing and

semi-formal environment; and (4) majority of researchers

will soon be accessing websites through their mobile

devices.

In this modern world, every field, profession and

organization needs an effective media in order to deliver

their goals, aims and missions. A successful organization

must recognize the opportunities that social networking sites

offer than merely reacting on the way its members or

constituents use them.

Whatever side comments are there regarding social

media, there are still growing and important roles of these

sites most importantly in the library usage and development.

To this point, a call for a geared Librarian 2.0 is badly

needed.

Modern Era calls for change…. And Librarian 2.0 is

one of its answers. And if we’ve got passion to share, then,

social networking sites will welcome you, and your library,

with open arms.

DIGITAL NATIVES AND DIGITAL MIGRANTS:

What Services can Librarians offer them?

Our time today in the modern Librarianship

is very demanding. Our work environment, the

computer and technology that sprouted is now

becoming luxurious for the digital natives yet a

major constraint for the digital migrants. Digital

natives are born during the digital age or after the

introduction of technology. They are much

identified with technology and its concepts. Digital

migrants are individuals who were born before the

existence of digital technology and just adopted it

to some extent LATER in their lives.

Our users consist of two divides, the digital

natives who are ardent and enthusiastic with

technology and the digital migrants who tries to

cope with the change technology has brought. As

a librarian, must we deal with them. We never can

hide ourselves from them rather it is our service

that they need and that we must provide. There are

lots of fora and seminars where we can attend to be

equipped with enough knowledge and skills and

answer the changing needs of our users as we

face the outbreak of technology. There is no need

to consider technology as a threat but rather an

opportunity and means to offer more services to

our clients. Our profession definitely has emerged

into greater heights. We must cope with the change

so we could offer services which are up to date and

relevant. It is an inkling of marvelous break for us

librarians to prove what we know and what we can

offer as information gathering becomes digital. As

part of Manuel S. Enverga University Libraries, I

am glad that we have a library

sufficient to the needs of our

users. The newest part of our

service is the so called Expanded

Academic ASAP.

This is something that

everyone must utilize. Electronic

journals for digital natives and

migrants. Geraldine G. Mallo, RL

her in all her achievements. She is kind and

accommodating, always with a smile when somebody

would asks her skills and knowledge in librarianship.

Some would say that she has a serious personality, but

when she smiles, her eyes and dimples

also smile. She is giving in all aspects.

She handles problems expeditiously. In
