And the real question behind Mr. Brody's statement, which Paul kindly
listed below is: how can we effectively capitalize and announce this
[skill-knowledge-training] that we know is true?
 
Thanks for passing along the article.

Not really, but I think Mr. Brody - President of Johns Hopkins - makes a
well-stated point.

"...to emphasize the point missing in all this Google mania: Massive
information overload is placing librarians in an ever more important
role as human search engines. They are trained and gifted at ferreting
out and vetting the key resource material when you need it. Today's
technology is spectacular - but it can't always trump a skilled human."
