Im Guardian erschien am Mittwoch ein Artikel über die walisische Bangor University, die vorhat, "to sack eight of its 12 librarians because students can find the information they need on the internet". In einem "consultation document" wird als Begründung geliefert: "The support to the academic and student communities from the qualified subject librarians, whatever its contribution to the teaching and research roles of the institution, is hard to justify in value-for-money terms at a time when the process of literature searches is substantially deskilled by online bibliographical resources".
