It is so refreshing to read all these articles about our current and future of librarianship. I am a believer that the key element of library science is cataloging. Only with better cataloging system, can we ensure better and user-centric service, and can ensure library to survive. So an open WorldCat with user-friendly interface is a necessity. It will solve the user education problem. With a better cataloging system, there is no need to educate our users.
Another key element of library science is collection. There is no way for us to go completely digital. But we are facing to decide which will go digital and which will go printing.
As to user service, I believe we have already focus our service around users. Users will keep challenge us to provide more service to help them find the information as fast and convenience as possible.
