I think there is a lot of good information here, and this is a good opportunity for us, as a profession, to have meaningful discussion about change and the future of librarianship.

Sure, we wish they thought all of the project was stellar, but to be honest, David and I don't even think that! :) So they said what they really thought and made suggestions that encourage participation and thoughtful discussion. LOVE IT! Thank you, Andrew, for this post. The link in the above trackback comment, is just the sort of thing David and I hoped might happen.

It is a mindset that one must develop. "Screw around with it until it works." I have seen the same thing that you described about people freezing up. Librarians can't be afraid of making mistakes.
