Did anyone take the THES article as a damning piece against librarians and ordering information? My
computer colleagues did .... whereas I thought it was quite positive ....

Has anyone read this new book (out this month):
"The University of Google: Education in the (Post) Information Age" ?
The author, Tara Brabazon, is Professor of Media Studies at the University
of Brighton.
It looks like an interesting take on the impact of new technologies on
Higher Education, and the library profession.
The author, has an opinion piece in this week's Times Higher Education
Supplement called: "Boomers in thrall to a Wiki Universe" which librarians
teaching information literacy might be interested to read.
I'd be interested to hear what list-members think of the book ...
