Librarianship in 2000 AD

Librarians are the people having expertise in organisation of universe of knowledge. As long as printed books on library shelves and journals titles in the racks will exist, librarians will continue to exist. You will have books on shelves in 2lst century also because you will still need to possess much of the material you are holding now and because you will need to support the browsing function. Most of your holdings will in fact still be in the form of print on paper, although the process by which it got onto paper will generally have involved a great deal more computer assistance than is the case at present.
