Ryan Deschamps (“The Other Librarian”) posted [http://otherlibrarian.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/what-is-a-database-really-data-storage-for-librarians/] an interesting discussion on librarians and their understanding of the term “database” which I find will be useful to many. Anyway, I want to read it again thoroughly a couple of times. He makes some important distinctions and clarifications that are important.
