And no, I'm not suggesting a completely different utilisation of budgets (although that is an option). I'm talking about restructuring budgets and planning for a future. As @joedeville.bsky.social and I have said before: *austerity is not a strategy*. Library directors/deans/etc.: please take heed.

Den einen ist der Verfassungsblog nicht wissenschaftlich genug, den anderen zu kostenfrei, um von wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken finanziert zu werden.

Wieso an beidem nichts dran ist, erklรคrt EVIN DALKILIC im Editorial.
