I know your advisors gave it an 85 and I have been out of academia for quite some time, but I enjoyed reading this.
It really challenged my views of libraries, because I always think of them as places that are supremely accessible and working to help the common man, but if we break that down even more based on class, dis-ability, and resource availability, things aren't as clear cut as having and not-having. The "technical accessibility" really ruffled my feathers because that is so very true of libraries, but of many many things in life that attempt to be accessible and fail miserably. Good work!
For a first attempt, bravo :) that means the only way you can go is up! You'll only get better and better from here and that is absolutely something to look forward to!!

Did you just drop a beautifully researched thesis for free here my guy??! Bravo.
I never thought of it like that.

I am proud of my work here. I never did anything like it before and it was hard. I think an 85 is fair. I worked hard but was inexperienced.
