Of far greater impact has been technology on the jobs of nurses: they are
now essentially the technicians that keep the doctors from being bogged
down in details. While doctors use the new technology as a tool system,
nurses are responsible for the running of that tool system and access to
it.

Are librarians going to be the doctors or the nurses of their profession ?
