Librarian Atlas

http://www.newlibrarianship.org/wordpress/?page_id=2

Go. Visit this website. Anyone who is interested in getting into the field of Library Science especially should be interested in this and for those who are already there: the field is changing (as we should be aware of) and this guide is perfect for Librarians (and future Librarians!) in this changing information society. (The map http://www.newlibrarianship.org/wordpress/?page_id=16 is a very interesting look at reference librarianship.

"The vision for a new librarianship must go beyond finding library-related uses for information technology and the Internet; it must provide a durable foundation for the field. Lankes recasts librarianship and library practice using the fundamental concept that knowledge is created though conversation. New librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversation; they seek to enrich, capture, store, and disseminate the conversations of their communities."
