[WEB4LIB] Commentary posted on 'Building Earth's Largest Library' (fwd)

[Bill Drew]

Walt Crawford ,as usual, has done an excellent job of exposing the Emperor's
lack of clothing.  I would hope he publishes his "rant" in every possible
venue.  I find myself agreeing with him completely.  I am sick of the
argument that public libraries are not free so lets charge people for
everything we do.  What is wrong with funding a public good?  When did that
become immoral?  I am sure Mike Dahn would consider me an enemy as well.

I urge everyone to read Walt's essay.
