The article presents comment of Richard Malinski, a former librarian, on the profession of a librarian and its future. He expresses the view that librarians stay in touch with the goings-on in the community to understand it, to serve it and to incorporate those techniques from it that assist them. If one looks back over the last 30 years, the integration of computers for circulation, in cataloguing, and for database searching are most evident as a testimony to this fact. To him, the relevance of a library career means an integration of work and life. This is not to say the submersion of life into work but a co-existence, a scaffolding of the ideas and views of one upon the other. |
