In reply to Silvia K. Spiva.

Silvia, what an interesting question. In many ways the library itself is (has) being redefined. Even since the Ancient Library of Alexandria, a library has been a physical place that one went to. Now, the library is clearly both physical and virtual, in that information and knowledge, can be found both within the four walls and also online. Information too is changing, in that the services are evolving so that information finds you based on location, context, etc. instead of you having to seek it out. As such, I think the role of the librarian will continue to evolve too. The modern librarian needs deeper IT and analytical skills to manage the growing and distributed data tsunami.
