... So, anyway, it sometimes seems like academics, particularly in the humanities treat the obligation to write and research as an unreasonable imposition. And in the first week of back to school, it has been discovered that the ASRS material handling system that replaced open shelves in the University of British Columbia's main research library some years ago is broken, and will take up to two months to fix. In the mean time, my alma mater basically doesn't have a research library. 

 

Those systems are quite impressive, very complex. If it's broken, two months is a very conservative estimate for repairs. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a year.
