Abstract

Acting as screeners of information, to make sure that the 'good' material gets through and that the irrelevant never bothers the client, will require a new profession of information traffic policeman, individuals who can be respected and trusted. Someone will certainly fill that role. By preparation and expertise, it should be librarians, but only if they stop focusing on sheer volume and start concentrating on what the client considers quality
