Marilyn Johnson talks to Library Lovefest

What will the libraries of the future look like? Will we even need them? In a world of streaming media, instant messages, wikis and blogs, Google and search engines, has library science become as irrelevant as Gutenberg? Virginia Stanley, Director of Library Marketing at HarperCollins interviews author Marilyn Johnson who will discuss her latest publication, THIS BOOK IS OVERDUE!: HOW LIBRARIANS AND CYBRARIANS CAN SAVE US ALL. Tracing the history of librarians from Dewey to digital, Johnson explores the next wave--what the cybrarians call “Library 2.0”--and how this new paradigm will affect the archiving of our culture. Joining in this conversation will be Nora Rawlinson, founder of EarlyWord.com
