Posts like this one from the Annoyed Librarian were tailor-made for Library Talk. Not because I don't agree with most of it, but because I do agree with some of it. It certainly is a conversation starter.

Key word here being "conversation."

I could say LOTS about this post, and I will after the ball gets rolling here. But I will start by addressing this: "...The Twopointopians contempt for their non-Twopointopian colleagues is palpable." I'll give AL this - the contempt between library colleagues IS palpable -- but I do not agree that it is the one-way street that AL thinks it is, as evidenced by AL's own post. But, yeah, "anti 2.0" librarians don't want to hear anymore about 2.0 (check the comments), and "pro 2.0" librarians are frustrated with those who are unwilling, or unable, to acknowledge a changing profession and the changing needs of patrons.

Your thoughts?
