A significant difference of opinion between librarians and the MLA
Richard Charkin has put this comment on his blog. It is his view of the opinions expressed by his audience at the NAG conference on Wednesday
"Tim, There was a significant difference of opinion between the librarians and Andrew Stevens of the MLA. His line was and is that everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. The audience seemed to think that things were bad and getting worse and the the (PwC/MLA) initiatives were of peripheral value at best and disastrous at worst. I don't think the MLA will recommend a doubling of book expenditure but they should (and maybe trebling would be even better)."
