nextgen librarians
I spoke at the conference yesterday about NextGen librarians and made a conclusion that my Russian colleagues gladly call themselves modern librarians, but don't do anything to correspond to this title. they are still somewhere in the middle of the 20th century. I am totally frustrated...

- the 4th being milleniums? what do we call the next gen?

- Roxann, I think that generation in professions should be measured not by the actual age of a person, but the the time of his work (or times he had come into profession) or the skills and knowledge he or she obtains.

Katerina,
Hopefully you'll eventually be able to persuade the stragglers that the rewards for changing will be worth any temporary discomfort. Let's hope so.
We've all been in your shoes, and we can definitely sympathize with your frustration. Good luck!
