#15 future of libaries

Reading this promotional propaganda for Web 2.0 was very self-indulgent and a tremendous ego boost. '"Librarians were stewartds, trainers, intimate with the knowledge base and minds who produced it. Librarians today are not just inventory management biobots: they are people with a unique understanding of the documents they compile". It almost sounds as if librarians are some super intelligent breed of human beings with superhuman powers and Web 2.0 is some sort of life changing experience? I believe libraries are a tremendous asset to the community and working in libraries can be a very stimulating and rewarding occupation. I personally get the most statisfaction from knowing that you have genuinely helped somebody and try not to take myself so seriously.
