None of us in STEM or humanities should ever take libraries for granted! PhDiva Liz Wayne interviews Dr. Elaine Westbrook (Vice Provost of UNC Chapel-Hill Libraries) about the knowledge economy, peer review, and the invisible, exorbitant cost of journals.

This is an ethical matter of access and inequality on a geopolitical level. Follow Dr. Elaine L Westbrooks @UNC_Librarian!
