“As our library school professors of “Information-Seeking Behavior” can and do tell us, there are many disciplines and professions both in academia and “the real world” which do not do much reading and writing.
And even those professions which traditionally involved heavy reading and copious writing, such as the teaching of English composition and the ruling of nations, have evolved (or devolved) for many reasons, not the least of which is the increasing dominance of Internet information (with factoids/sound bites generating more interest that full text works of several hundred pages).
I can think of some colleges and universities both large and small, both prestigious and precarious, where reading and writing are increasingly marginalized, especially when bottom-line administrators particularly
resent loquacious librarians fighting a losing battle to get the faculty interested in continuing to have a library that provides more than unassisted Internet access.” Terry Shults
