The Brewin’ Librarian » What I’m finding as an Information Professional
My fellow Coloradan, Matt Hamilton, takes a look around and comes to the conclusion that "the library field is weird. No, really. I mean it…. I’m afraid we just might be making a mockery of ourselves. And we don’t have another 15 years to fix it. In 15 years the information landscape will have changed just as drastically as the web has changed us and if we don’t get serious we might just fall off the map completely." Matt is finishing his MLS, and he's written up a very interesting perspective on what's wrong with the field, what's right with it, and how he thinks we cold start to improve things.

I’m getting a 500 and no blog found — which is disappointing — as I was really looking forward to reading how weird we really are.

Kevin, thanks for the heads-up. I emailed Matt, and he said that he has been working on changing domains from http://matthewdhamilton.com/wp to http://brewinlibrarian.com and was experiencing some problems yesterday. At the moment, the original link is working again.
