In highly populated areas library jobs became very competitive. Some librarians in remote places struggled because library were seen more as a meeting place rather than an educational resource. While other librarians worked to create programs for children that might attract parents and bring educational material into the workplace. Librarians began to get working volunteers who helped with providing services to more people.

They focus on the one that is most important to them. Finding information has always been of most importance and continues to be.

LMS are using procedures to help students access information beyond their own library and align learning with CCSS. Libraries are shifting to library commons(physical and virtual spaces) where LMS are collaborating with teachers and other specialists, students, and the community. The library is seen as the heart of learning and common gathering place where small groups, large groups, content creation, research, and a wide variety of other learning are happening simultaneously. Information literacy continues to be the foundation and reforming at the same time.
