  5. “Will the Internet Make Librarians Obsolete? On the contrary … librarians are the intermediaries who will help connect people to the information they need. People are going to rediscover libraries and help cure the arrogance that you can sit in front of a machine and get all the information you need to know. You are widening your own horizons and helping other people widen theirs. Someone is paying you — usually not adequately — for a life of continuous learning and the satisfaction of sharing it.” — Dr. James Billington, 13th Librarian of Congress. — U.S. News and World Report, March 19, 2007, p. 45
