Yes, Libraries Are Relevant

While folks recuperate from ALA, Peter Brantley offers some thoughts on "the library of the future" on his blog. He makes a good point - that while libraries may have difficulty working together, with one another, their future lies in being able to work with OTHER institutions:

The future resides in the creation of inter-institutional partnerships that marry libraries' wisdom in the organization, presentation, and accessibility of information to projects seeking to generate, deliver, and manipulate data in the service of science, learning, and education. Through these hybrid partnerships, libraries will enter a new territory of ideas, enriching their own experience while they bring insight to the work of others. Working beyond ourselves, libraries will chart a future into new lands.
