Canada’s chief librarian & archivist is pushing a modernization project, profession in an uproar.
librarians and archivists everywhere now find themselves at a
crossroads, caught between their mandate to preserve the best of the
analogue past, and the growing need to capture the vital ephemera of the
digital world, from photo sites to Twitter exchanges between
politicians to websites devoted to political movements such as Occupy
and Idle No More. Add to this the inevitable constraints in an age of
austerity, and you have what appears to be an unlikely scenario for war —
over pride, passion, and the very meaning of the past.
