Paper Tiger



As much as I hate to admit it, I think that folks like Baker are correct
when pointing out how libraries may be forsaking paper for television
screens.  Most librarians I know are obsessed with making themselves web
literate these days, and I rarely see them grab for an almanac when
answering reference questions at the desk anymore; they just turn away from
the customer, stare at the screen, and start typing.  You hear lots of talk
about libraries facing a "crisis of relevancy" in the professional
literature, all the while while practioners scramble to turn their reading
rooms into internet cafes...

I guess thats why I'm an archivist......wait a minute....wasn't that last
week's topic?
