From the Chronicle of Higher Education, an article about the breakdown of the membrane between IT departments and libraries.

I found it interesting that some of the institutions being discussed in the article have eliminated the job of head librarian altogether. It's an interesting paradigm, and it may work well for smaller institutions, but is it possible that there is some value to having a capital-L Library run by capital-L Librarians?

Beyond that, this seems to just be going right along with the trend, and as libraries try to keep their fingers in more of the campus informatics pie, it seems like it stands to be even more common.

On a somewhat related note, OCLC releases a Facebook app. Now you can search through their catalog while you're spamming your friends with Vampires invitations!
