Budget Cuts Hobble Library of Congress -
Just as military contractors, air traffic controllers and federal workers are coping with the grim results of a partisan impasse over the federal deficit, the Library of Congress, whose services range from copyrighting written works — whether famous novels or poems scribbled on napkins — to the collection, preservation and digitalization of millions of books, photographs, maps and other materials, faces deep cuts that threaten its historic mission.

“Librarianship isn’t about what we have; it’s about what we do. It’s taken us a while to realize that our full shelves (or loaded databases) aren’t our greatest value. It’s human interaction: over the reference desk, through informal one-on-one instruction, in teaching a workshop or facilitating a program, and by enabling conversations, bringing people together, and building communitywide experiences. While most people may no longer have the sort of informational needs they once did, today’s public looks to us for help in resolving a host of other issues, often fueled by technology, changes in the workplace, or shifts in the economy.” — So You Think You Want to Be a Librarian? — Publisher’s Weekly (via annaverity)
