Building Digital Libraries. Our Users Are Our Allies.

The article highlights the value of users as key alliances of information professionals in building digital libraries. It references the University of California-Berkeley's October 2013 document "Report of the Commission on the Future of the UC Berkeley Library." It claims that the report can serve as an example of how librarians form alliances, influence institution-level and global-level debates about information, and work to create buy-in for bold ideas from their own user communities.
