[...] John Blyberg also tackles this idea in his article. He says, “If we are going to play host to non-authoritative content (which it is when it comes from our patrons), then how do we designate that? L2 ushers in an era where this becomes something libraries need to do. There is a lot of fantastic non-authoritative data–we just need to get off our high horses and decide to make it available. The matter of how to mark it as non-authoritative is still pending, of course.” He gets at the issue in a much more direct way than I did in the previous paragraph (the high horses reference), but he brings up an interesting point. First, user-generated information is not the same as information generated through a peer-review process and librarians know that. We are not being asked to equate the two. Second, we haven’t found a way yet of marking this information as non-authoritative. When we have, it will make its integration into our offerings much more palatable. [...]

I sometimes worry that librarians fear that their usefulness is disappearing and that they have to make the library into a place that is full for the sake of being full. If we gave hamburgers out with every check out we would see great stats. But do we want to sling burgers? Those stats would not show the actual usefulness of the library but would show how much people love hamburgers. I want to provide the public access to information through new technology, but I’m not interested in reinventing the library into an entertainment center (gaming) so it is full for the sake of being full. If the public has ways to access information on their own or doesn’t need us any longer, then maybe we should become a part of parks and recreation or buy a hamburger stand.
