    "I personally believe that the greatest role you [libraries] play is around the documentary national identity. People come to you to find out about their ancestors, to find out what life was like, to critically evaluate and understand the past."

    Librarians that are arguing and lobbying for clever ebook lending solutions are completely missing the point. They are defending library as warehouse as opposed to fighting for the future, which is librarian as producer, concierge, connector, teacher and impresario.

    "Which of the following predictions about the future of libraries were made by university administrators?

    Within five years, libraries will focus exclusively on electronic resources
    Academic computing and libraries will merge.
    Librarians who do not produce will be reassigned or fired.
    The library will only house materials that are actively used.
    Libraries will shrink, in both collection size and staffing, and funding will be redirected from libraries to more critical and productive areas of the university."
    Sound familiar?
