How do you manage in the 21st century?

Abstract

I saw a job ad the other day for a university librarian. The university was seeking ‘an innovative, service‐oriented librarian to assist with planning and developing service, information, and staffing infrastructures for the library in preparation for the 21st century.’ Now, here's a library that thinks ahead…except for the fact that the 21st century is only eight years away. So maybe they're not thinking all that far ahead. Maybe, just maybe, all information jobs should be filled ‘in preparation for the 21st century.’
