Really this is going to be the age of the warrior librarian. Who else can shepherd through dense scrub of misinformation, who guards the truth against the wolves? I know it's supposed to be a sneering thing to call academia an ivory tower, but the thing is with towers, they hold. Being a center of learning is very pretty, mission wise, but the retention of knowledge is the critical task. That is where we're being attacked. That is what must not fail.
And some of you, my beloved friends, have already given your lives to this battle. But we must have more; we must use all the ways that work to hold onto what is known.
