Kathleen de la Peña McCook brings us a link to \”Revolution in the Stacks\”, a Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung article on the 92nd Conference of
German Librarians where much of the discussion surrounded what the responsibility of libraries should be in the 21st century.\”Germany\’s librarians are worried about how
they will cope with all these new tasks and are calling for more money not only to buy
more journals and books, but also to set up digital infrastructure and train additional
staff… It says a lot for the librarians\’ sense of civic duty when they offer to help
kindergartens, schools and universities improve their \’information competence.\’ But it
is still a case of the lame leading the blind. After all, the creation of \’information
competence\’ is a responsibility of the educational institutions themselves and not
archives.\”
