I know it is long but I think this author makes some pretty good points relevant to how to deal with the avalanche. Access over ownership. Appropriatism

Access trumps ownership; beauty in both form and utility - I like it.

This absolutely fascinates me: using "alternative" media to get information out there. When you are talking content, new content and up to date information this is the edge, to me.

Ha ha: It is much easier to count the bottles than describe the wine. love it.

The Schein approach to changing a culture - and to developing better ways of helping others within organizations - is one of observation, inquiry, and leverage. This means observing the ways in which an organization's employees act; deducing (or inquiring about) the ways they think; and putting in place small behavioral changes that lead them, bit by bit, to think about things differently...... People need to be able to raise concerns, and persist in raising them, in a way that cultures like NASA, aimed at results, can accept. S+B: Are most managers capable of this? SCHEIN: Probably not. They would need a culture that rewards them for raising concerns, and in most organizations the norms are to punish it. It's the very nature of authority to say, "Don't be a squeaky wheel. You made your point, but we're going to go ahead anyway. I don't want to hear any more."

Embracing social media campaigns for library advocacy

Well thought out critique though it pushes some of my buttons: "Is it good to share content? Yes, of course, but don't confuse it with learning.

Nobody told him that progressive library systems are dropping fines.....:)
