Information Overkill?

Brown's "Limits to Information" can be considered a lesson to libraries that we need to take care that patrons are not feeling overwhelmed with the abundance of information and media formats available. There are those who will push for constant technological advances and insist on having the most cutting edge in electronics. On the other hand we have those who are intimidated by all of this new technology and would prefer to stick to the good old fashioned way of doing things. They are comfortable with what they know and don't feel they can necessarily rely on computers, since with new technology comes new problems (which sounds ironic since technology is also what comes as an answer to problems). The key is to strive for balance and to achieve this, we need to streamline, determining what is needed and what can be discarded.
