Change or Die

 
I thought this Barbara Fister column had some relevance to one of the recurring themes on this list...that libraries must change dramatically to remain relevant.
 
An excerpt:
 
"Much of the rhetoric about the end of print, of books, of libraries as a home for books, is actually an exhortation that libraries must change or die...Quite often, change agents characterize the library as a moribund institution that has no relevance to today's students, a place where it never occurred to the librarians to offer group study facilities, promote new formats of information, or write new job descriptions for librarians...only the most radical of measures will make the library meaningful today. It's a problem that must be solved. Change is a must."
