You must share this delightful article far and wide: “A Billion-Dollar IPO for Johns Hopkins,” by William R. Brody, President of Johns Hopkins Univ. It’s tongue in cheek, but very, very flattering to us. Not bad for a week in which we also starred on TV.

“Our library has the most effective search engines yet invented — librarians who are highly skilled at ferreting out the uniquely useful references that you need. Rather than commercializing the library collections, why not export to the public market the most meaningful core of Hopkins’ intellectual property — the ability to turn raw information into useful knowledge.”
