176 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): reference services, scalability, and the starfish problemThe problem with traditional reference service is that it isn?t scalable, and the solution to that problem does not lie in improving or expanding reference service, but rather in making traditional reference service less necessary.

177 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): the journal issue and the record album: two fundamentally irrational information productsOver the past few years I've become more and more convinced that the scholarly information world has a lot to learn from the music industry.

178 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): thinking about the value of staff timeWhen it comes to deciding how we and our staff should spend our time at work, it's becoming increasingly important that we look in a very hardheaded way at the value of our time and the value of our tasks.

I?m sure all of us have asked ourselves that question at one time or another, and I imagine that for some of us the answer is simple and for others it?s complex or even ineffable. For me, I think it boils down to three memories from my childhood and young adulthood, all of ...Library profession; Materials access2008
181 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinon): What's your problem? (and what's mine?)Academic libraries are in a tough situation, there's no question about it. We're beset on two sides, and it's almost as if the two sides had coordinated their attacks. From one side, attacking us with a gentle smile and a two-edged sword, is Google, which wasn't satisfied with being the single easi...2009

184 Silverman, Randall H.Inconvenient legacyThe role of research libraries is to preserve the long-term memory of humankind.
