Rick Anderson spoke to the Kentucky Library Association at their Spring Conference. His PowerPoint Presentation, Five Sacred Cows of Librarianship: Why They No Longer Matter, and Why Two of Them Never Did, was recently posted to their blog after many requests for it.
Why am I posting it here?
Good question!
This presentation may be of great interest to those who are very interested in the subjects of collection development, reference services and information literacy. He took on the topic of ownership vs. access when it comes to our collections, how we manage our collections and how reference is not a scalable service. By scalable, he means that we can not handle an real increase in demand for this service.
I don't know if I agree with Rick just yet, but he makes a strong case. Read over his powerpoint and feel free to make your comments about what you read and how you feel about this topic.
