it wasn’t so much a question as asking for further commentary on librarians possibly being labeled “unskilled” in the future when there are educational standards and institutional standards being put into place that are working to go against that actually happening in the field.

Also, any opinions on NY state mandated continuing education for Librarians (starting in 2010), or the proliferation of continuing eduction credits being set up by many public and private libraries as a means to continue to develop librarian skills coinciding with current technological and field trends?
