This Day in Blogging History: Libraries and Makerspaces; Authors Guild vs ... - Boing Boing

Cory Doctorow at 1:00 pm Tue, Feb 25, 2014

One year ago today
Libraries and Makerspaces: a match made in heaven: Every discussion of libraries in the age of austerity always includes at least one blowhard who opines, “What do we need libraries for? We’ve got the Internet now! “

This is, after all, the same gang of weirdos who opposed the used book trade going online.

Ten years ago today
