boomers=millennials...

One of the facts I was struck with from the screencast about millenials is that they now represent as much of the U.S. population as baby boomers.  And, baby boomers are retiring now and soon, while millenials are and will be coming into the workforce.  This is more reason than ever to be thinking about how libraries can approach their programming and service delivery to reach these patrons.  I'm almost tempted to disregard my own inclination to consider the philosophical quandaries of whether we should be catering to their habits or if we should be teaching them to develop some basic skill sets that might seem dated but are still relevant (this is an academic library setting, and we have instructional responsibilities...)  Can we even afford to indulge in that mindset anymore?  I think we have to use the new technologies to reach patrons and teach them (if that's our mission) the skills they need using those tools.  But I wonder, (and this goes back to my last post and your comments), if some of the new tools are really good replacements for the old ones.  For example, I can see the value of tagging for personal use (I love delicious) but isn't there still a place for subject headings?
