In the outside world, the pressure is on for individual organisations to cooperate much more closely with each other, to disaggregate and reaggregate services over a wide area to provide more flexible response to customer needs while improving value for money. Virtual organisations have no such legacy to deal with, and the virtual library of the future doesn't necessarily have to evolve from the physical library of today. They will be highly paid. During that time, the rest of us will be engaged with the hybrid library, trying to the make the transition to cyberspace. If we lack meta-skill, we will not succeed.
Libraries are the last place to find professional peace and quiet.
I do not mean to imply that the physical library will cease to exist in the foreseeable future, but what goes on inside will change in character, if not nature. There is always going to be a requirement for skills in understanding the needs of the customer, and how to best satisfy them in a supportive, neutral and objective manner with the resources available.
