Unfortunately, not only do the people on the "winning" side of the digital divide not know why professional librarians are valuable, many people working in the same institutions as librarians don't know, either.
Case in point:
Our college recently published (internally, of course) the results of the environmental survey that all faculty and staff took a few months ago. At least two or three of the comments about the library amounted to, "The librarians do nothing. They just sit around all day. Wow, I wish I had that job."
