Good morning everyone
This short article from The Guardian might be of interest. It is about the proposal at Bangor University to reduce the library staff from 12 down to 8 because students can find the information on the internet. Apparently it "... is hard to justify in value-for-money terms at a time when the process of literature searches is substantially deskilled by online bibliographical resources."
