Top Ten, no really, Top 33 Reasons Libraries are Important

If you get a chance, check out the post by Will Sherman about 33 reasons librarians are still extremely important. He discusses the major differences between library resources and the Internet. He talks about the extras a librarian brings to research. He even highlights the future of library initiatives, or the library 2.0 to come from our many libraries. He concludes by describing libraries and librarians as "guides and guideposts".

This article may be too long to convince a parent, teacher, student, or other library user to read it. But, it provides some great talking points for information professionals to develop their elevator speech about what they do or where libraries excel.
