Question: Wouldn't it be great if once -- just once! -- our
profession could put on a presentation that imagined a vision for
future libraries as something other than vapid celebrations of
high-tech gadgetry? Is there really nothing more to look forward to

"It's not that the left-wing professorial coup has taken over the
university. It's that at American universities, left-liberal politics
have collided with the ethos of consumerism. The consumer ethos is
winning."
