Scott Carlson of The Chronicle of Higher Education – Information Technology asks some young(ish) librarians about what will change and what needs to change.

These are the questions he asked them:

• What is the future of the book?
• Will there be a reference desk?
• What information services will be performed by libraries in the future, and what information services will be performed by companies and nonprofit groups?
• Should the relationship between libraries and publishers change? If so, how?
• Does the library profession need to diversify and draw from different populations?
• What is one thing that libraries are doing right, and one thing that libraries are doing wrong?
• How well did your library-science education prepare you for the field today?
  What will the academic library look like in the future?

Some familiar names respond.
