Role of libraries

An interesting post yesterday on Science Library Pad:
http://scilib.typepad.com/science_library_pad/2007/10/grl2020-and-the.html
It mentions how librarians should accept that some services might be better done through technology or even by other organisations. Instead, they should focus on where they can really add value e.g. managing scientific data, curating digital information like blog posts. The post mentions a recent event organised jointly by University of Washington Libraries and Microsoft, Global Research Library 2020.
