In my online wanderings today, I stumbled across a blog called "Tame The Web: Libraries and Technology." I haven't gone very deep into it, but yesterday's guest blogger does a riff building on a New York Times article called "This is Your Life (and How You Tell It)" that evolves into his take on the internet's impact on the future need - or lack thereof - for librarians and libraries.
For librarians, it's fundamentally an issue of whether you see the glass as half-full, or as half-empty. The ready availability of information online today is a beautiful thing. However, can we as society afford to lose the guidance about critical thinking and reviewing a source's credibility that librarians provide?
