    RLG's new report. If you can't read it out, check out p.18 about what libraries need to do to create their own futures. The information about data overload summarized on p.5 is also important.

    Excerpt: "Increasingly, in the scientific disciplines, information ranging from online journals to databases must be recent to be relevant, so Wideners collection of books, its miles of stacks, can appear museum-like. Likewise, Googles massive project to digitize all the books in the world will, by some accounts, cause research libraries to fade to irrelevance as mere warehouses for printed material. The skills that librarians have traditionally possessed seem devalued by the power of online search, and less sexy than a Google query launched from a mobile platform."

    This article reminded me of a visit to Jefferson, Texas which used to be a major hub in Texas until its citizens turned down a connection to the railroad. Publishers need to plan for a digital future to prevent their own extinction. This article is a good start for getting them to think about what that future might look like.
