This paper considers the identity crisis affecting many information professionals, due to the arrival of new technologies, tensions between people with and without a degree, economic restrictions and low social esteem. It is not enough to identify the problems, but also to propose solutions: with the arrival of new technologies the role of the professional has not changed; new graduates must recognise the role played by non-graduates in the development of libraries and other information centres at the same time they themselves are enriching the profession; information professionals must adapt to these new times of neo-liberalism without forgetting that the benefits of public libraries must be measured in social terms; and they must strive to explain what they do so that society and its leaders will value their work.
