Library Revolution

Can I even say how much I love the PLVD Director’s Blog?

What a thought provoking post (one of many great ones!) about the astounding changes we’re seeing in the information world and they way libraries fit in.

“Many librarians will argue that understanding and adapting to changing customer needs has always been a core part of what we do, and to some extent I agree. I also believe, however, that the shift in the relationship between people and information that is being driven by digital technologies is analogous not to the introduction of video cassettes but to the development of the printing press and the accompanying explosion in the availability of the written word. I’d hate to see librarians as the scribes of our day….”

I love seeing a library director sort of “thinking out loud” like this for all of her community to hear and possibly join the discussion.
