Librarians as heroes?

[altivo]

Well, the article may be a bit over the top, but still...

DesMoines Register columnist Mike Kilen declares "Librarians are heroes"

"We live in an information age full of experts. Call up a couple of Web sites, write a blog and join a long list of blowhards who just repeat the information they found surfing. A person who does the grunt work and finds the original, respected source of information is practically a dinosaur."

and...

"Think you're an expert, Googlehead? The Pew Internet and American Life Project did a survey earlier this year and found only one in six users of search engines can tell the difference between unbiased search results and paid advertisements."
