T. Scott has a great post on his blog about change and libraries. Specifically about how change is actually a constant, there was and always will be change.

"It is the nature of the world and it is a fantasy (one that humans are particularly prone to) to imagine the past as a stable environment where people knew what was going on and what their role was, completely unlike the present, which is full of uncertainty and pressures being imposed on us from every direction."

Interesting point which had me thinking whether I have sometimes subscribed to that fantasy.
