I find ebooks from the library to be very useful.
I'm not saying they're not, or that the librarians are any more capitalist than they were in the 90's. I'm just saying it feels like they are.
Big Library is not out to get you. They need to not piss off Big Publisher.
No no, Big Library just isn't Big enough to stick it to Big IP, so that's why it seems like it even though I know librarians are still much the same.
She may dress conservatively and act prim and proper, but behind closed doors librarians can get freaky!
