Yes, we have education on searching, finding and organizing but those w/ an interest in something... the long tailed amateurs... are essentially subject specialists. If we're on both sides of the table, instead of across it, we can go forth together in search of answers. The dialog is much more interesting when we're on equal footing- we talk less & listen more. (and there's actually a conversation) I totally agree.
