Addressing much of this envy of the natural sciences in the process, too.<br />There are lots of libraries, with many different missions, some at odds. No one philosophy is going to usefully encompass everything we do. "Continually examine what we do, what works and what doesn't" seems more akin to this tracing of agency and precisely the opposite of establishing a canonical philosophy that can be referred to time after time, no matter how things change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13737038965630253900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771887482682364543.post-69386913341898450242013-07-12T14:37:43.206-04:002013-07-12T14:37:43.206-04:00Thanks, Laurene.
