Library Stuff

Kidding of course, about the “scandal”.

Roy Tennant – “So let’s all take a deep breath and calm down. “Library 2.0″ is not going to solve all of our ills, nor is it all that new. But if some want to frame the changes they see that need to be made within a Library 2.0 framework, perhaps those of us who haven’t signed on could allow them to do so without getting all freaked out about it.”

SlashDot – “One wonders how such a long-established blogging company can be so ignorant about the nature of the world wide web.” (via)

Oh Meredith, how I love your blog posts – “[B]y dismissing critics or simplifying their arguments, we only make our own arguments less convincing.”

Amen!

AL – “The Annoyed Librarian is an alternative voice in librarianship, and that’s that.”

I’m not getting involved in this discussion (I’m done with it), but I will say that any alternative voice that goes against the grain in our profession as much as the Annoyed Librarian does should be anonymous, because of the mob mentality that ensues.

It’s sad really, but maybe a mob mentality is what we need at this point in order to progress. I’m torn.

I do agree with DLK though. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. I’ve always felt that way.
