Comment Susan Hildreth, and the San Francisco Library (Score 0, Offtopic) 589
Under Susan Hildreth the San Francisco Public Library became an abysmal mess. She played politics to get where she is today-- but she was not wanted here by people who really love books.
She embraced technology because of its glamour-- not for its usefulness. This is a big subject-- and I simply do not have the energy to rehash what many San Franciscans know: the Public Library here is an over-politicized place that cheats its benefactors, employees, and the public-- largely thanks to Hildreth's past leadership and her continuing influence.
Hildreth's actions bespeak subservience to technology interests-- especially RFID interests.
Of course she would say her efforts are a rsounding success! For her to prove it is another matter.
