According to Peter Suber’s new book Open Access: “When
a library must provide access for thousands of faculty and students
working on tens of thousands of topics, and when the volume of new works
grows explosively every year, price barriers become insurmountable.”

What areas do managers find lacking or underdeveloped in their new hires? How well do current library science programs prepare students to meet employer expectations for reference positions?
