I'd rate this op-ed piece as mostly useless and I'll base that on the comment that Library Science degrees are going to be valueless. We live in a society that keeps generating information at a faster and faster rate. The problems of finding information, categorizing it, and preserving it are getting larger and not smaller. True, the format of the information is changing, but the problems that library science and more generally information management are not going away. Library science probably needs to rename itself, but it already has. The author of the article is just too blind to know that.
