Summary:[Herb Elish] claims his goal is not to threaten the grand tradition of free public access to a rich supply of information. Rather, he wants to sell the Carnegie Library's relevance to a much broader segment of the Pittsburgh population by offering the customers -- his word -- more of what they want. Elish's resume includes stints as a senior vice president at investment firm Dreyfus Corp. and commissioner of the New York City Sanitation Department. He was the only non-librarian considered to replace [Bob Croneberger].
