Comments on: More than just faith: Radical trust http://www.blyberg.net/2006/05/21/more-than-just-faith-radical-trust/ A library-geek blog Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:06:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Dean Lee http://www.blyberg.net/2006/05/21/more-than-just-faith-radical-trust/comment-page-1/#comment-548696 Dean Lee Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:23:04 +0000 http://www.blyberg.net/2006/05/21/more-than-just-faith-radical-trust/#comment-548696 hello, Nice article and I enjoyed reading it. I love books and places such as the library or bookstore. Like you, I am an experienced professional in information technology. However, I am interested in many things outside of the realm of technology, and deeply moved by ideas of faith, acceptance, trust and so on. The principles which you are offering here can be applied to many subject matters other than "radical trust in library information technology applications", which gives your ideas "universality", a very important quality in my opinion. I used to frequent libraries and submerge myself in the world of books and ideas. Like the old days, the libraries of today still seem to be the place for quiet study and reading, which I am grateful for. I can see that it is also trying to adapt to the times by being fully equipped with computers and the internet, but I do not have any idea where it is trying to go with that. As you are involved in that world, perhaps you can comment on what you think is the future of libraries based on their status today? And, which direction do you think it should go in? Many thanks. Dean hello,

After reading this post I sent it on to several people at my library. While the post has a lot to offer I want to share one section with you: If it’s a real challenge you’re looking for, let’s take a look at how we’re to “let go” of our content and let it be at the mercy of an untrained collective. Let’s be honest and admit that when it comes to catalogs and material, librarians do not trust the public to make good metadata. A lot of these feelings are wrapped up in a time-honored tradition of providing authoritative information that has passed the scrutiny of official librarianship.

I totally agree with your idea's here. i feel empowering our client base is the future of libraries. True, idiots will sometimes spoil it by making in approiate comments etc, but dialogue is so important in a digital age as much as it is pre-digitally (did that ever exist?) Quality comments.
