"When Good Librarians go Bad" - a post today on a blog I'm not familiar with, by
someone I don't know.
Please don't email me about this - I have lots of thoughts, but no time right now
to "talk". Just wanted you to see what a colleague whom I really admire sent me.
There are several omissions in his thinking; you may not agree with much; you may
get in touch with your inner rage (I've got bigger targets right now - Goldman
Sachs, are you listening?) and pick apart the whole thing.
My quick take? He's got some good points and we all benefit when we see where the
holes are in someone else's thinking. Especially when there are probably a lot of
people thinking similar things. And I agree that if you take the NEIOG (Not
Everything is on Google) stance as the main justification for librarians, then you
shouldn't be surprised when people say, "Oh, yeah, well not everything is in
libraries".
Unsettling, even though he is not talking about SCHOOL librarians (maybe he thinks
of them as media specialists and is not sure what they do).
