Two days

Two days to Staff Day. Please, please, please take a look at Tame The Web, if you haven't already. http://tametheweb.com/. Michael Stephen's talk promises to be engaging and thought provoking.

In looking at his blog today, I came across a great piece of writing from Roy Tenant. He's been writing on library issues for years and has recently joined the staff of OCLC. So, here's the thought for the day, courtesy of Roy. http://roytennant.com/

Any way you look at it, these are amazing times for libraries. In our time we have witnessed a revolution in information access not seen since the invention of the printing press. Thanks to the Internet, the answer to many questions that pop into your head are but a mouse click away. With massive digitization projects now in full swing, books long sequestered in dusty stacks are becoming much more discoverable and reaching much larger audiences. As librarians, we are being called upon to reinvent what it is we do and how we add value to this drastically reformulated equation.
I love it. But then, I thrive on change. Since change is life, shouldn't we all?
