Bloggers Alley
ITI Bloggers October 25th, 2005
You had to get up pretty early to assure yourself of a backrow seat for Liz Lawley’s keynote this morning. Found camped out in the back of the ballroom were three notable bloggers (l-r) Jenny Levine (The Shifted Librarian), David King (Dave’s Blog), and Aaron Schmidt (Walking Paper). 
“Technologists think they can create the algorithmic equivalent of a good librarian,” Lawley said in opening her remarks. “It’s not going to happen.”
“Information retrieval is not going to replace the human touch,” she said. “You need a human/social context for things to work.”
The bloggers in the back of the room were living evidence of the social network that informs our thinking.
