While I was reading T. Scott Plutchak's thoughts on open access, I noticed he column "It's Time to Leave the Reference Desk." published in The Informed Librarian Online.

Plutchak believes we are at time where the role of the librarian is morphing.

"As more and more information takes digital form, we are presented with a profound change and a remarkable opportunity. While our library buildings will continue to be essential elements of knowledge management (not just for housing the important physical collections, but for providing the space in which people come together to collaborate and learn), for the first time in the history of our profession, we need not be tied to a building in order to do our very important work."

Amen. I believe it is an evolutionary time for librarians. We are gradually no longer just the keepers of information, we are the finders as well. How best to find what our clients are looking for.....by getting out and esatblishing relationships discovering how we can serve them.
