What if....
We stopped cataloging?
Would it matter? Would it show us cataloging wasn't important or just how important it is?
What if we participated fully with the FBI in all criminal investigations that involved the use of library resources?
What if librarians individually and a profession, promoted, used and helped develop wikipedia?
Strength of Wikipedia is anyone can contribute. Why not leverage our expertise and make wikipedi the best it can be. **Librarian reviewed, librarian approved** ratings for the entries.
What if all libraries accepted open source software as a way of being in control of the customer experience?
What if we embraced our inner geek and created alternate reality games that lead people to our resouces?
What if mistakes were expected and embraced and librarians became the mistake masters?
What if we required all library staff to have expertise using technology?
What if we didn’t make decisions based on fear of/and/or scarcity?
What if we stopped being passive aggressive?
What if we didn't make our customers work so hard?
Think about the above questions, talk to your co-workers and ask what if.....
