Blog post: If Libraries had shareholders

Peter Brantley, Director of the Digital Library Federation, has written a very interesting post about library usage that includes text from  Jerry McDonough of the University of Illinois' Graduate School of Library and Information Science.  Looking at the information in the graphs presented (you'll have to go there to look), Brantley asks:

...if libraries had shareholders, would they, like newspapers, be in the midst of a gut-wrenching, brake-screeching exercise in redefinition?

There are many comments on his blog post.  I don't see any that talk about how libraries are dealing with these statistics.  If you have a story to tell about your library, you might want to add it to the comments there.
