However, I think the quote from Lynne Brindley is as relevant as ever. Regards Neil Dame Lynne Brindley DBE, Chief Executive of the British Library, said of the report findings: “Libraries have to accept that the future is now. At the British Library we have adopted the digital mindset and have seized many of the opportunities new technology offers to inspire our users to learn, discover and innovate. Turning the Pages 2.0 and the mass digitisation project to digitise 25 million of pages of 19th-century English literature are only two examples of the pioneering work we are doing." Hi Stephen

I hate to say it, given the fact you spend most of you time on the cutting edge or looking beyond it, but this information is (nearly) a year out of date.
