Rubbish video

This is a video made at an Australian university which has caused great excitement in the rubbish librarian community.

It's a nice example of how woolly our profession can be when we try to envisage the future: a mishmash of technophilia, utopianism, dubious business theory and wishful thinking.

Key points include:

• The "old ways" are bad, whatever they are.
• The future library will not have a "hierarchy" or "bosses". This will be achieved by using Twitter, somehow.
• Future librarians will cycle to work, however far they live from their workplace. This will have a "ripple" effect, encouraging library users to cycle to work too, thus saving the world from global warming.
