The paint on my worn out ol' library soapbox is getting rather chipped these days, but I'm about to get back up on it, my friends. Brace yourselves.
Heather Perkinson's insight:
Honestly, I'm only posting this one in case you're worried I've been under a rock for the past two weeks. I haven't, I've just been ignoring the latest flurry of attack-defense-attack-defense hysteria about whether or not libraries are extinct/irrelevant/pointless/etc. This latest salvo was both amusing and a good summary retrospective, so I finally succumbed and clicked. Plus, I'm a huge fan of the author, Rita Meade, who has one of the best Twitter ids ever: @ScrewyDecimal. Delete the scoop?
