Exercise 8: Current Awareness.

The video I chose was the one that talked about the Automatic Book Delivery System. The ABDS would be fantastic in a large university or state library. It would be particularly helpful for librarians to be able to find a book at the touch of a button, as well as clients being able to access sources from outside the library. I feel it would make information more accessible to clients without the need for librarians to be searching through storage or stacks for the required books. This system allows clients to search through a virtual bookcase, meaning less worry about shelving books and more time to focus on helping the clients. It would allow librarians more opportunities to work in different aspects of their jobs.
I do not think this system would work on a smaller scale.
