Librarians of the Future

I came across this poster from PewInternet.com for the 2012 SUNY Librarians Association Annual Conference.  It's true, Search has changed the way we get information.  How then does the role of the librarian change as facilitator of information?    I think the new roles outlined on this poster are relevant, especially that of Filter.  For librarians interested in continuing their careers in the future, its time to start figuring out how to filter and then curate content.  Or become irrelevant.
