: But, if online catalogs, CD-ROMs, and other
: wonders of the electronic library pose a challenge, if not
: a threat to librarians, what about the Internet.  Once the
: masses learn to log on to it, will we be needed?

: I am reminded of a rather flip (but accurate) response I once heard when a
: teacher expressed the concern he would be "replaced by a computer." The
: reply was, "If you *can* be replaced by a computer, you should be."

: What do we as information specialists do that computers can't? Guide,
: support, evaluate, interpret, hand-hold, encourage .... I personally see a
: bright future for anyone who can provide a human interface with technology.
