One of the best presentations at the NFAIS conference was given by Aaron Schmidt, a young librarian and director of the North Plains Public Library in Portland. The theme was breaking down the barriers to bringing users in as participants in library activities, whether collectively answering reference-desk-type questions, contributing to cataloging, or adding their own profiles to library community resources. Those who want a sense of where librarianship could/should go in the post Web 2.0 world will do well to check out his blog here.

Hey, thanks for the nice comments. I enjoyed giving the talk and am happy it sparked interest. I'll have my slides and a post about my talk up later today (with any luck).
Cheers!
