The Creative Librarian is a hub for matters important to librarians/information scientists of today. There is a definite lean towards electronic issues, however it isn't restricted to only those. Hopefully this site will also be useful for informing non-librarians on these issues as so many of them affect us all.

As books get digitized and TV shows get downloadable, will it be too much? Maybe! Will all this instantly accessible information make us much smarter, or simply more stressed? When can we break to think, absorb and ponder all this data? It may take better technology to cope with the problems better technology creates. Of course, if used properly, the new resources have vast potential to shape how we live, study and think. Consider books….

What I would be worried about is that people would stop thinking completely.
