BDSM and beheading videos: The evolving role of the librarian

It was awkward, but part of my job as a librarian is to help patrons research a topic, whatever that topic might be. Google has many people convinced that librarians are no longer necessary — probably the same people who predicted our demise when the personal computer was first introduced.

The profession is evolving, of course: adapting to new technology and, more significantly, being reshaped by culture.
