Meet the Ontario Librarian of the Year: Rosemary Bonanno
The award is given by the Ontario Library Association. From the article: “This is the key time for librarianship. We are managers of information and, going into the information age of the 21st century, this is going to be our century,” she [Bonanno] said. In 1994, when the Internet was new, many people thought there would be a decline in use of the library system, but Mrs. Bonanno disagreed. “We can find out how to get the information, the quickest route. How to make sure it’s authentic information. We are actually the tour guides of the net,” she said. “Librarians are trained to structure the search. We can sculpture that search question so it gets you the results you are looking for. There is a natural blend between the book and electronic products and that’s what we are doing here.”
