Raiding and Trading Librarians.

"I want to see online reference librarians become the first web celebrities, flesh and blood personifications of the Internet, sought after, overpaid, and spoiled, who are raided and traded just like professional athletes. I want to see library webpages become essential local information resources with busy online communities that spontaneously create entirely new social structures. Most important, I want to see the library profession finally move to center stage in the Internet revolution, where we should have been all along." Jack Colbert, librarian, Librarea

Thanks to book notions for highlighting this quote! Lots of other interesting links from their pages, too.
