The Future of the FDLP: From Conversation to Confrontation. link and comments
The Future of the FDLP: From Conversation to Confrontation, By Jim Jacobs and Melody Kelly Library Journal “Backtalk” (Dec 13, 2011).
Update
After the above piece was published in LJ, there was one question and a couple of comments posted to the LJ site. Evidently, those comments and responses have been removed from the LJ site, so we reproduce here (as accurately as we can) the conversation that ensued.
