Librarians Mostly Aren't That Stupid

I'm not at all sure how many nonlibrarians are reading RBCA (yet!) but recently the president-elect of our national association made a bit of a stink about how he thought blogs were stupid. When I got the issue of the journal in which he said this, I looked at the title, looked at the name of the author, and decided to not bother reading it, as I had a preconceived notion of him as a bit antiquated anyway.

This piece got a bit of notoriety amongst nonlibrarian "blog people" and I just want to take a moment here and say that librarians mostly aren't out of touch technophobes, and I'm sorry that the president of our national association didn't think about how what he said might make librarians look old fashioned.

I didn't vote for him.
