This TED Talk has been quite popular lately (9:05 minutes).
Is there an echo chamber in librarianship. I guess so.
What would be remedies for that?
How should we listen to folks beyond the library echo chamber?
To whom should we listen to more often?
Do we balance experts and real users?
Could that create another echo chamber?

I certainly think there is a library echo chamber – it’s something myself and Laura Woods have written and presented on a lot over the last 18 months or so. We’ve assembled various resources, including strategies to escape the echo chamber, in the presentations gathered together here if you’re interested: http://www.netvibes.com/nedpotter#The_Echo_Chamber
