The long years of food shortage in Britain have suddenly given way to huge food supply.  Stores and shops are crowded with food.  Rationing(定量供应) has already seemed too distant to today’s Britons.  Even overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries.  Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and worries.  Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about?  Is the surface huge amount of food only temporary, or has it come to stay?  Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home?

The recent growth of food supply on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because two continuous big grain harvests in North America are now being followed by a third.  Most of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.

    Then why is the food situation in Britain still faulty?  On the one hand, The British government has gradually cut down support for food.  On the other hand, the shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.

    Moreover, the rise in food prices at home has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety.  And now grain prices, too, are falling internationally.  British consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be able to benefit from this trend.

The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers.  The older generation have seen it all happen before.  Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a smaller home market.  Present production is running quickly compared with years ago.  However, farmers haven’t shared any benefit from the change.

Libraries everywhere in the world have always been people’s only access to important sources of information.  This historical function of libraries has worked out for centuries and has made libraries a necessity to people.  Now, that function has been called into question by the fast development of digital media over the past several decades. In order to continue to hold the public interest, libraries everywhere are forced to develop means of granting access to these expensive new services to average people.

     In the past, the publishing industry maintained the rights of libraries to freely provide published materials on the condition that libraries bought so many of their books. Since the new electronic publications can easily be copied in their completeness by the library readers, the publishing industry is reconsidering its former support of the library system. There have even been attempts to stop libraries from delivering digital media.

     In addition to the reluctant cooperation of the publishing industry, there is the problem that the newer forms of information are much more specialized than those which they replace. Deciding how to transfer already limited resources is increasingly difficult as there are more methods. While a single reference index(索引) might have covered an entire field in the past, now there are frequently several specialized indexes available in electronic form. Above all, in order to continue to make use of the newer technology, libraries must decide which kinds of material are most useful to the majority of their readers. There are many different solutions being applied, but only the process of trial and error will help find out the most effective method.
