Library budgets get cut because no one understands how efficient our services are compared to individual access. And no one understands because we don't tell them - kc

Karen wins the prize! "No one understands because we don't tell them." Whereas Google does nothing but tell people, every time someone visits their web site.
One one side, we need catalogs w/WebTrends built in, so we can see what people are doing, or not. On another side, we need to relentlessly advertise libraries and library services. Not in the sense of an afterthought, but in the sense that the survival of libraries as an institution depend on our ability to popularize them, and adapt to changing needs. MJA
