Have a good weekend everyone!

Heinemann let slip that there is an international plot by publishers to
replace all librarians with pod-people who will pay whatever a publisher
asks,
thereby bankrupting all libraries and making it necessary for people to
buy information at a premium, which will be copyrighted, and no-one will
be able to pass purchased information on to a third party (think CD
copyright, RIAA, etc) without facing life imprisonment on offshore
facilities which make more pod-librarians.
CILIP are writing to them to ask them to stop.
Or it could just be Friday afternoon now...
