Came across this IT-related article:

"Learning from Libraries: The Literacy Challenge of Open Data"
<http://eaves.ca/2010/06/10/learning-from-libraries-the-literacy-
challenge-of-open-data/>

There's been some recent bemoaning the fact that no one outside of 
librarianship seems to know or care about libraries any more (yes, 
I'm exaggerating a bit), but this article points to how libraries 
dealt with a particular societal issue (literacy) as showing the way 
today for dealing with data.  Reactions?
