2010 Summary: Libraries Are Still Screwed (External site)

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, 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. (Michalko)
