First small task

I work as a reference librarian in a large public library. Looking at the 5 definitions provided by Webster, my library is part of the information society because we:

1. use and/or provide information technology (computers, OPACs, scanners, dvds, computer games)
2. are part of the primary information sector of the economy
3. employ people engaged in information work
4. are part of a number of networks (interloan network, online databases, library consortium)
5. provide information which contributes to the 'media-saturated environment'

However I prefer a definition that reflects the quality of knowledge rather than just its quantity i.e. a knowledge society rather than an information society. Our library is part of this by selecting resources according to pre-determined criteria, by providing access to databases of selected material, by providing links to reputable websites and by teaching Internet searching and evaluation skills.
