Response to: Double Fold
I'd suggest reading "Double Fold" more as a.. polemic. I've seen Baker speak at a few library-related events, and in person, he might be a little more fair-minded and understanding of the issues facing the modern library than he comes off in the book. I'm in no way defending past microfilming practices, but I do think that in this book, among other things, Baker insufficiently appreciates some of the essential working differences between, say, the special and circulating collections of a library. Got to give the guy credit for ponying up some of his money to preserve some of our own history though.
