The new person heading up our Boston Public Library should be
knowledgeable about grey literature
http://greynet.org

Of particular concern are government documents of our city that for
too long have been inaccessible. We need to have our public library
able to develop in depth collections of our public city documents.

A a) Mayoral Directive and b) City Council Order are needed for the more
routine transmittal of our public city documents to our public library
so researchers can study our city more effectively. That appears
unlikely to happen.

wrested out of context are recycled versions of Margolis's unwillingness to install Internet filters

"Also wrested out of context are recycled versions of Margolis's unwillingness to install Internet filters -- except for children -- on library computers. Free speech may be uncomfortable at times, but it should never be so in a library. It is the branch libraries, though, that are now center stage."
