Why should librarians be knowledge producers? • Caché • Enhanced professional capabilities • Strategy • Collaboration
Why shouldn’t librarians be knowledge producers? • It’s not what we do • We don’t have the time/energy • We’re not resourced to do it • We’re not rewarded for doing it • It changes you • It’s too hard • We’re not capable of doing it.
