Librarians and Programmers

Kamat’s Portpourri: “Librarians feel threatened by systems like Google. Their gut feelings are right. Do you know how many people walk to a library and use Google? And you know what, Google is pretty darn good at finding what a user (patron) want whereas a library is not.” One of many gems in this post, from the perspective of a programmer that makes software for libraries. Interesting in light of recent discussions in the IAI mailing list.
