5 keynotes announced - not one librarian!
We need to hear from visionaries in Librarianship!!!
Actually I am very comfortable with there not being librarians as keynotes. Surely it is about the relevance and quality of the keynote that we should be concerned. Fresh ideas from outside the profession are always welcome.
I agree with second comment - fresh ideas outside the library "world" to inspire us - surely that's also in line with the conference theme too: Poropitia outside the box.
A recent article in Harvard Business Review encourages us to rethink thinking inside the box.
Breakthrough Thinking from Inside the Box. By: Coyne, Kevin P.; Clifford, Patricia Gorman; Dye, Renée. Harvard Business Review, Dec2007, Vol. 85 Issue 12, p70-78.
So leaders from inside the Library world who can challenge our assumptions and present ways of working are needed. Indeed it is an indication of our professions sorry state that we think we cannot think inside our box - or even find fresh thinking from inside our world.
