I read the contributions to OCLC's Next Space newsletter and thought they were thought-provoking pieces. I'm a fan of Michael Stephens especially. I attended a seminar at Darien Library where he was a presenter along with Jon Blyberg some years ago and admired his zeal about the future of librarianship. In this article he aptly organizes how the library profession should approach assigning value to and, subsequently, implementing these new tools. In some respects, I think necessity will be the mother of invention.
I was also intrigued by John Riemer's comments on metadata, a complex subject, but one I think is necessary to pursue to better integrate all information sources that can be searched online. (Thing #14)
