This from a guy who says "...I believe passionately in the transforming power of libraries and in the core values of our profession--service, preservation of the human record, intellectual freedom, equity of access, and the advancement of literacy."
-and-
"I would like to be remembered as an ALA leader who had a vision of libraries and librarianship that reconciled our traditional core values and services with the enthusiastic embrace of innovation--technological and otherwise--and gave all librarians and ALA members reason to be hopeful about their individual and our collective future."
