“Scientia potentia est” which is loosely translated from Latin as “knowledge is power” was penned by Sir Francis Bacon in his work Meditationes Sacrae in 1597. With the rise of the Internet, many seem to think that we have all the knowledge we need at our fingertips. However, knowledge requires that the right information be available at the right time and in the right place. When it comes to categorizing information into knowledge the Internet is very poorly organized (if it can be considered organized at all).
People are needed to organize information into knowledge and librarians are best suited for this task. Click on the link below for an annotated bibliography on this subject:
