In the Away from the Iceberg's article by Rick Anderson of Universitity of Nevada, Reno Libraries, he wrote of 3 iceberg's libraries need to say away from:
1. The Just-In-Case Collection
2. Reliance on User Education
3. The "Come to Us" Model of Library Science
I can see where at NCC we have already begun to make some of the changes Mr. Anderson is addressing. Interfiling our reference materials and also allowing patrons to check out reference materials is an example of this. Having a "roving librarian" like we started last year is skiriting around another iceberg he mentions.
Like Murphy, Librarians must keep moving.
