37. CONCLUSION:
“The basic philosophy of libraries remains unchanged.
We continue to remain committed to supporting and
promoting intellectual freedom, academic inquiry
and literacy of all kinds. We are just doing it with a
different set of rules, policies, customs, patrons and
structure around us.” (Pamela Colburn Harland)
