Who knew we were so cutting edge?

I've seen a couple of articles regarding the Chicago Public Library's website upgrade that allows patrons to renew online. The first article, City Unveils High-Tech Library Upgrades, in the Chicago Sun Times, glowing reports on the new features. The second article, Library's Online Service Gets a Lift, in the Chicago Tribune, takes a more skeptical look at how high-tech this advancement really is. Interestingly enough, Carol Sheffer, president-elect of the Public Library Association, reveals that only half of the libraries in the US have this feature. If I hadn't just read the articles myself, I would never have believed this was considered a luxury for public libraries.
