Another venture on the future of librarianship, haven't listened to it yet:
"New Librarianship"–Slides, Audio, and Screencast of R. David Lankes Keynote
@ Charleston Conference
http://www.resourceshelf.com/2009/11/05/slides-audio-and-screencast-of-dr-r-david-lankes-keynote-at-the-charleston-conference-now-online/
- The best days of librarianship are ahead of us. However, to get there the
field must step back, refocus, and reexamine our core principles. We as a
profession have become so focused on the trees of standards and process that
we are now at risk from missing the larger forest of opportunities. This
talk will present a view of a new librarianship, one focused on knowledge
and action instead of artifacts and collection. The presentation will look
beyond the trends of today’s technologies to a durable new librarianship
that focuses on innovation, leadership, and service.
