The document discusses the changing role of librarians due to new information technologies. It lists some modern information sources like blogs, wikis, and social networking sites that librarians can now use. Librarians can take on roles like being a technology specialist, promoting information use, managing institutional repositories, and acting as a community manager by making profiles and groups on social networking sites. New technologies allow librarians to collaborate with users and peers in real time and spread ideas virally.
