Go Ahead, Book Me

摘要

I have a Confession tO make. The fine Northeastern University Press is on life support, and it's my fault. Don't get me wrong, I didn't act alone. I'm a librarian, for goodness sake. I love books, okay?Things just...I don't know. They just spiraled out of control. At my college my colleagues and I work with the faculty to make the most of our limited budget. Books, journals, databases... we try to create a microcosm of the world of knowledge so our students can do authentic research even at a fairly small institution. That's the idea, anyway. So we stretch our dollars, we make compromises. And now that press is barely hanging on to life.You gotta believe me; I never meant for this to happen.
