# 15 On Library 2.0

I visualise a second chapter of the web where everything can be accessed via the library homepage. People will seldom visit their branch and all their information and recreational needs will be delivered to the home PC. A PC that will be provided by the library service and leased to the occupants of the household. The internet has changed the image of libraries. It attracts another type of user who has different needs from the traditional book lover. Governments will pour millions of dollars into IT infrastructure to give the appearance they are forward thinking and assisting people with the modern dream. Rick Anderson's 'icebergs' and changes in attitudes add support to my thoughts.
