One of the interview questions is: "How should libraries adapt to the changing ways that students (and faculty) do research?" The answer makes me wonder if they really understand libraries.

There's also a question about "basic digital literacy". The answer doesn't mention a library role in this, even though they sort of hint at it in the answer to the "library" question.
