This document discusses the divide between libraries and publishers in the digital information age. It explores how librarians and publishers see the world differently, with librarians focused on patron access, funding, community, and volume of information, while publishers focus on intellectual property protection, innovation, and sustainability. The document also examines issues facing publishers like access, discoverability, community, and quality control in the digital environment. It argues that libraries and publishers should change their outlooks and take on aspects of each other's roles, with publishers using reader data to enhance digital experiences and libraries engaging in publishing initiatives using their archives and community connections.
