#15 On Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

The article about steering away from potential Icebergs was interesting - especially the point about not relying on large "collections" anymore. This is a good point, but we also have to be careful not to assume that everyone has access to all new technologies. If we take away the print collection....do they go without altogether? Also, a complete focus on user guided services...yes of course this is what we try to do, up to a point, but surely the point of librarianship as a profession is that in many ways we know best??? That sounds arrogant but I think all great institutions are arrogant to some extent, and society needs these institutions for stability and comfort. Just a thought........
