Digital Libraries
A story broadcast on ABC Radio during the Overnight program Thursday, May 27, 2010         produced by Molly Perrett and vocal by radio personality Rod Quinn who is talking with Dr Alex Byrne

This is a 15 minute segment of the program, discussing the subject of digital libraries. The question under consideration is, 
"As books move towards a paperless future, can Libraries in their present form survive. or is it more likely that we will see more libraries like Project Gutenberg, the world's oldest digital library, founded in 1971 by Michael S Hart?"

As this is a radio program, it is necessary to find authority from the organisation broadcasting the item and from the status of the person being interviewed. 

The organisation is Australia's public broadcasting authority who are a component of the Australian government thus are supported by and gain authority from the Commonwealth.

The person providing the information is Dr Alex Byrne, the university librarian at UTS and the former President of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions. These credentials show that he has the position and knowledge to provide accurate information
