Gslisadjuncts Fwd: Libraries are screwed

Many thanks to Evelyn Behar for sharing this: Have you seen this? I got it in an OCLC newsletter. 2010 Summary: Libraries Are Still Screwed[image: (External site)]<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=2454335&l=56970&ctl=34BC08B:420A3F4499C5EC7…> Go to Hellman • December 31, 2010 *Gloom and doom?* Eric Hellman says libraries are nearing the tipping point of irrelevance as publishers continue to ignore libraries' role in their digital business models. Hellman includes links to a number of relevant articles published over the last year—worth checking out. I'm embarrassed to report that until just now I actually hadn't watched the Eli Neiburger presentation, *How eBooks Impact Libraries*<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=2454335&l=56970&ctl=34BC08C:420A3F4499C5EC7…>, which became widely known as the "Libraries are Screwed" talk. Maybe some of you haven't either. Take the time. There's not much to argue with from my perspective.
