Jonathan is at the Berkman Center, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/BerkmanCenter" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/user/BerkmanCenter</a><p>Good quote from article:<p><i>"... where finding particular information amidst a Babel-like ocean of bits is not consigned to a handful of for-profit search engines and information-feed-generators who can tweak what people see for their own purposes — or at the behest of regulators.<p>That’s why it makes so much sense for us to be thinking about the revitalization rather than replacement of the library. In a world suffused with so much transient information as to inspire epistemic paralysis, we acutely need libraries’ power, independence, and ethos: institutions conceived to fight on behalf of their patrons, which is to say for the public and for the preservation and intelligibility of the public record."</i>
