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."
