Values For Librarians In the Information Age

"Values For Librarians In the Information Age." Journal of Information Ethics / Wanda V. Cole & Jitka M. Hurych.
Minnesota: Journal of Information Ethics Online 10.2 38-50, 2001.

"The advent  of the Information Age has brought  other ethical issues to the attention of librarians.  Rapidly changing technology  is forcing the library profession  to  rethink  its mission  and  responsibilities.  Technology  has  and will continue  to have an enormous effect on how information  is accessed, retrieved, and  transformed  into knowledge.  Previously  accepted  values  are being  challenged."

New Library Technologies Dispense With Librarians

"New Library Technologies Dispense With Librarians." Wall Street Journal / Conor Dougherty.
New York: Wall Street Journal Online, October 25th 2010.

"In this suburb of St. Paul, the new library branch has no librarians, no card catalog and no comfortable chairs in which to curl up and read."

Because 'community hub' is intrinsic to 'library', I hesitate to to call this a Library.
