There is something hypocrital here in that study at the Dean's school
is too expensive and too lacking in students' financial support for
pursuing careers in our cities' public libraries.

We need library studies programs setup at the University of
Massachusetts that are on a par with the excellence of information
policy programs at schools like at State University of New York
University at Albany http://albany.edu/cci

A teaching library approach to library studies on site at our Boston
Public Library is needed just as medical centers are teaching hospitals.

Greater emphasis on information policy studies for our cities' public
libraries' professionals is needed.

Too many of our current cities' public libraries' professionals are
unprepared to fully examine all facets of debates about the
problematical aspects of the software for
our cities' public libraries.
