I kinda wish you would, though, because although the library world is
a conservative slow-moving bunch, I've seen them do agile stuff when
it was vital that they did. They can do it, if the challenges are
identified as dangerous to them. And agility is exactly what now is
needed. More and more people, both inside the library walls and
outside, are saying the library is becoming less and less relevant to
society, and if this is true (feel free to start another thread :) it
needs to get its sneakers on and do whatever it can to dodge bullets,
jump through hoops and carry a stack of books on its head. And it
doesn't require expensive sneakers at all with a bit of agility thrown
in. But they must be sneakers.

Alex
