**Please excuse any cross posting.**

I wanted to share with you all a blog post I've done concerning a topic I addressed at the NISO update at ALA Annual in Anaheim; 

"Why and how librarians have to shape the new cloud computing platforms."   

If you heard the talk at NISO, you can skip this, but if not, I addressed some topics that deeply concern me about the future of librarianship and these new technology platforms and that I strongly feel need to be thought about and discussed by all of you.  I hope you'll find the post informative and provocative and of course, would be delighted to hear your thoughts/responses on the lists, by email or on the blog. 

You'll find the post at:

Have a great weekend.

Best,

Carl
