From the desk of the Times Higher Education Supplement

I thought I ought to post something on 'higher' education, to contrast with the 'low' culture of the previous post. A welcome piece of news this, but not a conclusion surely that it should have taken serious research to come up with? The Library is the immediate research point at any university (and in my case the most often used; I simply don't have a large enough budget to go out on frequent research trips). A better equipped and better funded library therefore must be bound to have a beneficial effect on a university's research and its research income.
