Really? I always thought of a library as the curator of knowledge. I'm not likely to be able to go to the local popular book seller and find tables of statistical data for the past 100 years, or scan through microfiche of every newspaper. There is pressure on libraries to attract constituency, and justify their existence through popular acclaim (and thereby legislative support). It is nice that they can participate and then document the popular culture, but I would see that as a distraction from their real value and purpose. Or, as my colleagues frequently tell me, "I don't use it all that often, but I'm glad it's there when I need it."
