Sumario:"Librarians serve a higher purpose that no amount of digitization or computerization can ever replaceLibraries have survived and will continue to thrive in the future, because they fulfill eternal needs for people."Nancy Kalikow Maxwell from the Preface. Librarianship as a calling is a powerful perspective. While its been a long time since libraries were exclusively the provenance of monks, some of those sacred roots remain, according to librarian and theologian Maxwell. Many librarians sense the deeper meaning and higher purpose in their work, yet rarely have time to contemplate it. Maxwel.
