Abstract

I’ll go first. I for one think it means that the earth is moving under our feet and the sky is tumbling down, words not from God or Harvard, nor a disembodied hand, but Carole King. While we can spend our time arguing that it isn’t quite so bad as this where we are, or that there are attenuations to be made but these aren’t the right ones, I think our time would be better spent preparing for a future that may well include fewer librarians and more of something else.
