----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Ray Anne I think we all have to accept that in entering an online/virtual information age there is an increasing centralization of resources. It is my opinion that while our expertise in arts librarianship is not a hindrance, it is advisable that we maintain a broad perspective on information management to secure an everchanging future in whatever profession. I consider it a bonus, that in our capacity as information managers, if the opportunity arises, we are 'lucky' to indulge our art expertise. Of course, I speak from within an Australian context.
