Where does the time go?

Well I have gone from almost weekly posts to barely monthly posts. I was out in Lansdowne at Colloquium in early October and have just gotten caught up. Met some great learners and had a good but busy time as usual.

I wanted to share this article about young Librarians in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

"Libraries are facing a series of immense challenges: the explosion of information, a rapidly changing technological environment, shrinking budgets, pitched battles over copyright, a new world of information literacy, and continuing deficiencies in old-fashioned literacy."
