Bravo!
I question that it is possible to create a system that will give good
results for more than 30% of the population without educating them in
how to use the tool. Many librarians consider what they do to be
educational by its nature.

I hate to make a "yes but" point, but I think this other perspective
might be worth considering. I believe library systems have to be
user-centered (accessible), adjusted to the needs of users. But remember
that users have to adjust themselves to information, too. That is part
of learning.
