We used to say it’s not about what you know (knowledge), but your ability to find out about what you don’t know (information literacy). Now we are back to an old standard: it’s not what you know, but who you know.
More and more we get information from other people. Quality is something libraries are concerned about. Our users expect us to provide access to the best resources. Of course, what we really mean by this is quality books, films, websites, and other information sources. Quality is about stuff.
Why isn’t quality about people? We judge the quality of resources; why don’t we judge the quality of people? Ah yes, judging people, now there’s a popular growth industry.
