It\’s a short but interesting interview.CIO: The School of Information replaced traditional
library studies. What is the librarian\’s role in the
digital age?
GRIFFITHS: Library science has changed dramatically, but
the core role of the librarian—evaluating knowledge
resources—remains unchanged. People assume that since we
have the web, everybody can do it all themselves. But most
professionals don\’t have the time. The web is not a library.
Most people have no idea how search engines work and
don\’t know anything about the quality or integrity of the
information they are accessing.
