Bike sharing and the library

Bike Sharing Comes to the Academic Library

http://j.mp/iECDr7

"The problem with offering great coffee, comfy chairs, and 
bicycle rentals to the library is not that these amenities are 
unwelcome -- indeed, they are appreciated by most patrons. The 
problem is that they start diluting the brand of the academic 
library. And a dilution of the academic library brand may make it 
more difficult to justify hiring, retaining, and compensating 
highly trained academic staff."
