Montreal: In Forming Thoughts, June 26th 2011.
"...but when i think of librarians as thought leaders, i think of…revolutionaries.believing in access to information as a human right means fighting for our communities. fighting to make sure the digital divide continues to shrink. fighting for privacy for our users. fighting against the entire concept of censorship. and lately, fighting for libraries.so this is my call to arms. librarians are revolutionaries, and society needs us. and no i don’t mean killing all the things with fire.true thought leaders, true revolutionaries, are willing to overthrow the system, or join it, if that’s what works best for their community."
