The Bunheads are Dead: Discovering High-Tech, High-Touch Opportunities in Library and Information Science
The media generally still cast the librarian as the bunheaded spinster, sweater clipped over the shoulders and pince-nez perched at the end of her nose, shushing any who dare to break through her dusty, dimly lit cone of silence. AlessyaQ in the Super Conference blog elsewhere on this site argues that this is what she saw in speakers and audience alike at Super Conference last month. In one comment to her post, nsoini found the very opposite was true at her academic library sessions. Ken Haycock, who gave four sessions at this year's Super Conference, and co-writer Carla Garner describe the changing landscape and may surprise everyone with many of their observations.
