 * Librarians stand at a critical point in history**: if the world indeed is changing rapidly, and if information is proliferating faster than ever before, it is the job of the librarian to ensure that this critical time does not pass us by unheeded. The potential for positive change here is incredible, and there is no better group to stand on the cutting edge of human understanding than the ancient institution of librarianship.

o  “The librarian-educator community deserves its own central channel for methods, tips, and tricks of technological development that not only make our lives easier, but also that makes the true subject of our work, namely the administration and organization of information for free access to all, more successful than ever before. I can say confidently that if you didn’t believe everyone deserved the best chance at information possible, you wouldn’t be reading this.

However, this project requires widespread contribution from the librarian community, because it is exactly that: a community project. This potential for success needs participation, because without it, the librarian’s potential for proper management will be outpaced by history. But we all are committed to the same noble end that has been around as long as books have, so I don’t see this happening any time soon. Instead, technology can be integrated into the librarian’s domain and can make the way the world views itself clearer than it has ever been.
