Friday Fun Link – 33 Reasons Why Libraries and Librarians Are Still Important (Dec 7, 2007)

This list is focused mostly on the Internet and technology as things that librarians are better at (rather than librarians successfully utilizing these tools beyond what normal users might do – he says, typing on a blog) but it’s still a lot of food for thought.

To be honest, I think it wouldn’t be hard to make a 100 item list of why libraries and librarians are still essential.

Plus they forgot #34 – “Librarians are the ultimate service occupation. Gas station attendant of the mind.” (Thanks to Michelle L. for the quote.)
