Hi Catherine, so what you're saying is that another role you're trying to fill is to help guide students on new ways of self-publishing, and maintain the respect a scholarly peer review gives? Do you think the number of channels available to budding authors actually hinders success, or make it more accessible? There are more options to publish free online yes, but with that comes a sea of hobbiests. Do you think real talent can float to the top with such a saturated market?

Hi, I have sort of two questions

With recession hitting the US and the government tightening its belt on so many things, do you see further budget cuts affecting library budgets in the coming years? If so, how do you see libraries adapting to this change in budgets?

Also, with the digital shift, how do you see libraries surviving with so many free and easily accessible resources online?
