FOR TOO LONG there has been a tendency to adjure librarians to take note of the ‘new media’. There have been large numbers of courses designed to point out to librarians that there are more than books in a library, when for many years this must have been blindingly obvious even to the meanest of intelligences. Present concerns must instead be to accept that we have the media, and to spend more time thinking of how we use them, what we do with them, and who for.
