"CNet. Library radicals targeted by copyright owners. We need to resurrect the "digital divide" debate to make sure libraries remain sacrosanct. It is in the public good to make sure there is an ability for people to get access to information, even if they can't afford it." [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
Even though he's pointing to an article from July, 2001, John gets it. When this article appeared online, I didn't think there was as much of an uproar as there should have been. Had I been blogging then, I would have tried to bring this issue to the forefront, but I'm glad to see that others aren't letting it go unnoticed either. It's up to librarians to educate the public and our elected officials about these issues.
