From the Icebergs article : .....it can be equally disastrous when a profession fails to acknowledge and adapt to radical, fundamental change in the marketplace it serves. At this point in time, our profession is far closer to the latter type of disaster than it is to the former. We need to shift direction, and we can’t wait for the big ship of our profession to change course first. It’s going to have to happen one library—one little boat—at a time. I agree with Rick Anderson
on this matter.
Librarianship article :Michael Stephens on Librarianship says,"he does not create policies and procedures that impede users’ access to the library. This librarian tells users how resources and funds will be expended. Decisions and plans are discussed in open forums and comments are answered. This makes the library transparent." Also he says, "This librarian seeks out information and news that may impact future services."
I think he is on the right track. Libraries need to provide updated and complete information from all available resources.
