Libraries, live--from India?

This article from FUMSI reiterates some of the usual advice--stay visible, save money, talk to people--but one of the things that made my heart stutter: outsourcing library or information jobs to India. It's part of the overall trend: programmer jobs, journalism and reporting, call centres, payroll and healthcare services. Why not librarians, especially in the parts of the field that are (F2F) low touch:

• collection development
• cataloging
• ask-a-question IM services
• website design and maintenance

You wouldn't think that they could pay librarians less for the work they do but some companies may have found a way.
