Professor Guédon made a presentation on his ideas in May 2001 at the 138th Membership Meeting of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), a meeting held in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Research Libraries in Toronto. The presentation was received very positively and, as a result, Professor Guédon agreed to write a paper to encourage further discussion. The result is the paper in hand. In Oldenburg’s Long Shadow is published by ARL with permission of the author in order to stimulate further discussion and new thinking on the important issues that he raises.
The author would like to thank Jaia Barrett, Judith Matz, Mary Case, Rick Johnson, Alison Buckholtz, and Karen Wetzel for their close readings and feedback during the editing of this paper.
