This was the pre-conference keynote presentation for ALAO's 2011 conference. The talk was built around three core aspects of library work: preservation, research, and teaching and discussed our role as we've transitioned from a read only to a read/write environment. The talk made the case that through this evolution we've transitioned from servant to supporter and still should transition to collaborator.
