THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION "Lora Ebert Wallace, a [WIU] professor of sociology, said she is baffled by the administration's decision to cut the librarians...If there are no librarians around to stay on top of things, she said, it's just a matter of time before those systems start failing... Library advocates argue that librarians provide essential support for that expertise and those programs. But the provost's office viewed librarians through another lens." WIU Interim Associate Provost Christopher Pynes spoke with the Chronicle. ‘“We're trying to Moneyball this thing and try to figure out how to get as much as we can, and as many offerings as we can, with the least amount of money,’ Pynes said, referring to the Michael Lewis book about a baseball team."
