I wonder if the title means info on metrication is stored in special libraries, or it is a bunch of librarians metricating their special libraries, which might well be the most boring metrication debate ever. "Now what should the spacing of the book shelves be? Should we use centimeters or millimeters?"

One needs to be realistic regarding 'how things are' versus what people write on paper based on their opinions. If you wish to succeed - don't manufacture optimism. ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [USMA:47972] METRICATION IN SPECIAL LIBRARIES Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2010 13:55:24 +1000 Dear All, I haven't read the paper at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=1692832&show=pdf but I liked the abstract that says: The metrication programme in the United Kingdom is now sufficiently advanced for an attempt to be made to separate fact from propaganda, and practicalities from wishful thinking.
