I think they see this sort of thing as research in many ways and will pick up the threads in their 'day jobs'.

In a way I'm disappointed that the Guardian journalists didn't dig a bit more - some comment on topics like the publisher reaction to e-books, the cost of digitisation, the entry of commercial entities (like Google and MS) into 'library' space would have been interesting to see. I was suprised they didn't pick up on some of the criticism of the UCL 'Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future' report that I've seen online. I agree that this is a good way to reach a wider community, and at least brings the issues into the light - it's a start! I think that’s fair.

None of its exactly groundbreaking to those in the know but if we are honest thats not exactly many people!
