2509 - Summary/Objective
2510 -
251001 - Follow up ref SDS 4 0000.
251002 -
251003 - An article today lends support for a Communication Manager, explaining
251004 - that librarians are changing their role from merely finding
251005 - information to explaining the correlations of information and this
251006 - results in producing knowledge.
251007 -
251008 - This supplements the record on 940510 reporting an article on industry
251009 - using a librarian role. ref SDS 1 WJ4H
251010 -
251011 - On 940603 an article reported efforts at Stanford to develop
251012 - technology for automating the librarian role, ref SDS 2 8J6J; seems to
251013 - recognize continuing need for a skilled work experts for an effective
251014 - librarian function. ref SDS 2 UT4F

251016 -  ..
251017 -
251018 - Librarians are evolving into "knowledge navigators." ref OF 1 line 17
251019 - guiding the public through an overwhelming landscape of data and
251020 - separating information wheat from chaff.
251021 -
251022 -     This is the first published support I have seen for the
251023 -     proposition that information must be converted into knowledge.
251024 -
251025 -        [On 001025 Doug Engelbart proposed in the OHS/DKR Launch Plan
251026 -        that Knowledge Integrators be used for applying technology that
251027 -        aids information management. ref SDS 5 8094
251028 -
251029 - Librarians are concerned that that sheer volumes of data on the
251030 - Internet will make information retrieval so overwhelming that people
251031 - won't be able to discern what's accurate - or even useful - amid the
251032 - static. <P>
251033 -    ..
251034 -    This is the argument for a Communication Manager.
251035 -
251036 -    A librarian is a passive expert who finds information.  A
251037 -    Communication Manager is proactive in adding intelligence to
251038 -    information so it can be found when needed, and can be applied
251039 -    meaningfully to evolving context.
251040 -
251041 - I am not sure but I think Ross characterized the Communication Manager
251042 - role as similiar to a librarian. Actually, it was Merrill at DEC in
251043 - his letter received on 960122. per ref SDS 3 6683
