Hi all,

I've been following this discussion with great interest. I'm a PhD 
student in LIS at the University of Illinois, where I focus on history 
of libraries and information.

If libraries aren't sufficiently serving their communities, isn't that 
an indictment of LIS education? That seems the necessary question to ask.

Also, "information food chain" (personally, I'm not very fond of this 
phrase) sounds similar to the information/knowledge transfer cycle. Are 
they similar?

cheers,
Caroline
