Amanda, from Notes from the Digital Frontier, does a nice bit on why she thinks libraries will continue. Keep in mind she is in no way connected to a library, that I can tell. (Other than being a user.)
Another good tidbit from inside and outside the library world: a colleague at OCLC in charge of social marketing for WorldCat.org pointed me over to Ning.com. And would you look at that, Bill Drew has set up a Library 2.0 social network with 14,275 views so far in four (4) days ...Ning looks to be a very easy way to set up a social network that has friending, photos, blog posting capabilities and so much more. It may not be absolutely beautiful, but it's an easy way to get started and not re-invent the wheel.
I also wonder if Gather.com would be a good social networking place for library or WorldCat-ophiles...so I started a WorldCat group. Go Join!
