“We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry.

“Many flagship state universities have wonderful digital libraries that are accessed by people around the world. In future, if not current, budget crises, trustees, board members, and administrators may wonder why these state institutions - with an articulated primary clientele of students, faculty, and staff members and a secondary clientele of all citizens of the state - should be spending resources on a digital library that is used by many people beyond the primary and secondary service populations.” PeopleIfsWorldShouldMayStatesUsedWonderWonderfulStudentsCitizensMembersResourcesCrisisInstitutionsLibraryUniversityPopulationCurrentsSpendingAround The WorldPrimariesBudgetsBoardsDigitalFacultyStaffAdministratorsTrusteesBoard MembersStaff Members Author:Tom Peters
