Dewey Meets Turing

digital +library= librarians, computer scientists, and publishers
--DLI: Digital Libraries Initiative
--considered a "matchmaking" of computer scientists and librarians
--was it successful?
--In 1994 the WWW threw crazy stuff into the picture, which really blurred the lines between pc scientists and librarians (really undermined the common ground that brought the two groups together in the first place)
--bigger web equalled more heuristic approaches to organizing info
--librarians wanted a clear connection to traditional librarian functions
--no matter what the technology, the CORE function of librarians is still relevant
--collections are re-emerging
--more opportunities for connections between scholarly authors/works and librarians
--simply need to come together and find what they need while still working together
