"We have watched whole professions go out of business as a result of changes in technologies. Libraries are not immune. Change must happen soon and across the board of libraries of all types are to remain viable." ---- David Bishop Retired University Director Northwestern University
The heart of Library 2.0 is user-centered change. It is a model for library service that encourages constant and purposeful change, inviting user participation in the creation of both the physical and the virtual services they want, supported by consistently evaluating services.

Library's core skill is not delivering information. Libraries improve the quality of the question and user experience. --Stephen Abram
图书馆的核心技能并非传递信息,图书馆改善了问题的质量以及用户体验。

if you’re inclined to think that libraries are in danger of becoming irrelevant, you’re probably going to be more open to many of the more radical proposals and developments we’re seeing and hearing of today. Purists, of course, are just as vehement and passionate about libraries, but want to see the core values of their libraries shored up. To them, good old fashion reference and circulation is what libraries are all about.

如果你倾向于认为图书馆存在危机,你可能会更加开放地去寻求各种激进的解决方案,抓到篮里都是菜;你如果是图书馆原教旨主义者,你当然会更加激烈地捍卫图书馆,希望找到图书馆的核心价值.对于他们来说,传统的参考服务以及流通工作就是一切.
