THE MILLENNIAL VIEW
Welcome to the Millennial View!
We need to know how the Millennials are thinking about information because they are coming into the workplace and we will have to meet their information needs. Are we ready? Face it, their perspective can be fascinating but at times it may be a little hard to fathom as well. What is on their minds when it comes to information, libraries, and technology? How do they see the world? What do they need from us as information professionals? How can we best prepare ourselves from their demands?
Well, no worries. Meet our two Millennial Columnists: Abbey and Sam. They will seek to enlighten us as to their generation's viewpoint on why information matters to them, and just how they access and use it in their lives everyday.
Abbey and Sam will be writing regular posts on the Government Info Pro and they encourage your questions via email. To ask your question just click this link: ASK ABBEY AND SAM.
