Brian Walden was being interviewed yesterday about public service broadcasting, and I think what he said is similar to the position of library services (and by implication librarians). Public service broadcasting he said should not be chasing glamour or ratings, or the big bucks. It should though continue to be there because it is deeply valued, if not superficially appreciated. I'd rather be deeply appreciated than superficially valued.

We won't change people's

Hands up all who are wearing cardigans...
Seriously, this debate has been going on for the twenty years that I've been in
the profession. When are we actually going to do something about it?
