Thank you, Lars, for these positive provocations!  I, too, found them refreshing.

But let's try taking a step forward.  Suppose IFLA did call us, and you were asked to deliver a keynote!

What would it say?  Let's sketch together some notes for such a keynote. I think once we have a knock-out keynote outlined, we can easily get invited to deliver it at one of the next library shindigs.

Following up on the observation already made above, that Sue's well-received ALA talk has had little concrete impact (as far as we can tell) on libraries vis-a-vis Wikipedia,  I'd say one hint for our new keynote would be this: we need to talk less about how Wikipedia works and why it's reliable [1], and more about librarianship in the 21st century including a genuine value proposition for the profession and their community. [2]  Our prospective keynote should make concrete offers for collaboration about problems they care about today.  We shouldn't expect them to snap to attention when we merely point out the large extent to which our missions are shared.

Cheers,

[1] I'd even say we have largely convinced anyone really paying attention and open to new things.  We should pick our battles and not expect every librarian in the world to be able to come around to our POV.

[2] While you make a good point about the poor state of articles on library science, particular libraries, and notable librarians -- it would mostly apply to library science students (as you say), but not to active librarians and decision-makers in the library world, who, in my experience, do not regard it as their job, nor calling, to disseminate or improve information about their own world, but about everything else.  Some, I expect, would even manage to find a hint of an insult (not that it would be justified!) in the suggestion that they contribute by editing about LIS.
