Be everywhere, Be somewhere!
This prophetic line came from Joe Janes and his fabulous keynote speech Reference 2.0: Ain’t What It Used to Be…And It Never Will Again.
The basic concept behind his speech was: you have to be somewhere (a physical space) AND you have to be everywhere (a web presence, etc). A library is no longer a just a physical space, it exists on the ground and on the web. In this world of information overload and people doing their own research at home we have to evolve in the ways we provide reference service.
One thing that won't change soon.....print is our secret weapon!
