Dear Tony,
You say in other words what I tried to say, with one proviso : librarians
do play an enormous role in facilitating the retrieval procedures of the
scholar. They are the best equipped for that task and, therefore, should
not be left out of the loop even though the ultimate logic of the
situation is to help scholar-to-scholar communication.
In all of this, we are exploring the ways to create the optimal
possibilities for a society based on distributed intelligence.
Best to all,
jc
