A couple of excerpts:
"For all the concern expressed about the imminent demise of the college library, there may never have been a time when librarians seemed more vital, forward-thinking—even edgy—than they do now."
And:
"...as Marilyn Johnson describes them, libraries are becoming 'the new village green.' Far from being the declining years of these revered institutions, the present offers new opportunities for collaboration and democratization with the library—and librarians—at the center of that experience."
