What They Should Teach in Library School

Here's a post from an academic librarian concerning library education in a 2.0 world. Take a look...you may want to blog a reaction to it:

How are things going?

Hello LIS753 foks! I was glad to see the blog posts come in -- keep them coming. Don't forget the naming conventions we discussed.

I'll be seeing you in a couple more weeks. Please get in touch with questions.

The User is Not Broken

Just want to point you to an incredible blog post by Karen Schneider:

All technologies evolve and die. Every technology you learned about in library school will be dead someday.

You fear loss of control, but that has already happened. Ride the wave.

You are not a format. You are a service.

The OPAC is not the sun. The OPAC is at best a distant planet, every year moving farther from the orbit of its solar system.

The user is the sun.

The user is the magic element that transforms librarianship from a gatekeeping trade to a services profession.

The user is not broken.

Your system is broken until proven otherwise.
