[Web4lib] Library Science rankings

[Robert Balliot]

I have heard the phrase "When you are number 2, you try harder" :

With University of Rhode Island ranking last at 44, the phrase "No place to
go but up" comes to mind.

I would like to see the survey upon which they base these results.  But,
given that there is really no consequence for a failure to be competitive,
the results of the survey would be merely academic.
