Is there a library in th future?

Right now there is alot of controversy over whether the library has seen its last days. Technology is being presented as the future for information gathering. In split seconds a searcher can answer a number of questions by accessing one site, or several at a time. Literature has morphed from books to books on tape to ebooks. Budget constraints have caused many to think of the lack of a need for large areas when dealing with technology as opposed to dealing with shelves of books. What they haven't considered is the role of the media specialist and exactly what is involved in this profession.
