Interview just done with (I presume) Karen Patterson for Evening Extra
this evening:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/radioulster/evening_extra/
Show runs 5pm-6:30pm, 94.5 FM wherever their catchment area is. Should
be on "listen again" after that.
Just a short introduction to Wikipedia. I said it was popular because
it was useful, it's highly imperfect "because it's just written by
people" so isn't "reliable and checked", but it's a good starting
point for further reading.
One question I didn't expect:
Q. Do you think people are abandoning libraries for the Internet?
A. The Internet's more convenient. But I think libraries have been
systematically underfunded, so the Internet is filling a gap rather
than pushing them out.
- d.
