Are Librarians, Not Seth Godin, The Ones Missing the Point on Libraries? « The Unquiet Librarian
Seth’s Blog: The future of the library via kwout Twitter is lit up today with divergent responses to Seth Godin’s post, “ The Future of the Public Library .” I think Godin is spot-on with his thoughts and observations, particularly the idea that libraries “…ought to be the local nerve center for information.” Note he doesn’t see information only in BOOKS, but information in multiple spaces or “containers”, period. Although he isn’t the first to do it, Godin’s call to reconceptualize libraries and his emphasis on the real meaning of “library” as being embedded in the work librarians do is powerful; Godin’s call disrupts the traditional precept of the library as being book-driven.
