A GOB miscellaney ...

... Further to the former.

With admirable succinctness, the GOB responds to Michael Gorman:

Galleycat reports that a big-shot librarian has attacked web 2.0 culture. The fellow in question, Michael Gorman, has a few valid points, but he seems to think that the internet is incompatible with respect for expertise and scholarship. I think the reverse is true. I think the internet provides a wonderful route whereby one can access expertise and scholarship, in a way, and with an ease, which was not even dreamed of by earlier generations of scholars and experts.


But you see, Michael, Mr. Gorman is a scholar and an expert.
