Here is a summary of a recent GAO report that should be getting much more media attention than it has. Even if you don’t come to the same conclusions as the authors, the GAO Report is (to put it lightly) extremely disturbing.
But since this is a librarian blog (or, more importantly, since I keep claiming it is), let’s not dwell on the unpleasant facts . . . let’s catalog!
(BTW, if anybody wants to alert me to problems in my 650 fields, go right ahead, I’m no all-knowing expert. But do keep in mind that I’m using MESH, which is extremely limiting compared to LC. Also, yes, the 856 is a live link to the report itself.)
