| Introduction | I like to hike. When hiking, I enjoy coming upon cairns -- piles of rock which mark the direction I should go. They are interesting creations, the products of several people who are helping to lead the way. I am becoming a librarian. While becoming a librarian, I enjoy coming upon "Library Cairns" -- words of wisdom which mark the direction I should go. They are interesting creations, the products of several people who are helping to lead the way. This blog is NOT a place where I will share many of my own "words of wisdom." Rather, I want to collect the "cairns" of the library world -- ideas, articles, blogs, discussions, tools, and more -- which are leading the way. I want to create a repository for myself of all the great information about the future of libraries so that I will have markers to follow as I am finding my way as a librarian. Of course, I hope that others who are interested in going in the same direction might find the information in this blog helpful. And just as real cairns are created by more than one person, I hope that others will add their "rocks" in the form of comments, suggestions, links, and more. My thanks to you in advance. |
