Comments for Creative Librarian http://creativelibrarian.com 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.

The ILS may no longer be applicable in the Web 2.0 world, but librarian skills are needed more than ever. Let's not lament the lack of vision by ILS vendors. let's create our own killer apps.
