Why I Support Library 101 (And so should you)
November 11, 2009 - 9:12pm — AndyW
About two weeks ago, David Lee King and Michael Porter debuted their Library 101 video at the Internet Librarian 2009 conference. This video and accompanying Library 101 website rippled through the librarian blogosphere, attracting both very positive and very negative comments. With this post, I’d like to share why I support them and encourage those who spoke out against it to consider re-examining their opposition.
