Topic Finally Picked

So I know my topic and here is the working title: Privatizing Libraries: Should it Happen?

I know that this topic is going to require fixed experiments/research and it will probably be measured in the “nominal” or “ordinal” ways. 

I have a strong argument (I believe) on why we they should go private with a few examples to back it up. 

Here are a few questions I will be keeping in mind as I research this topic.

1. What are the benefits of privatizing libraries? What are its drawbacks?

2. How to finance a private library.

   a. by subscription

    b. by local funding, such as a charter school using local school funds?

    c. Libraries in Regency England were pay only for use. Would the historic model work today, or would it make books available only to the elite who could pay for access?

 3. Would large foundations, such as the Bill and Melinds Gates group, be interested in private libraries in disadvantaged areas, such as Appalachia, where public funding for libraries is minimal? Research the levels of funding for libraries in rural areas v. big cities to see if this is true.

4. If the federal, state, and local governments are cutting costs everywhere, and we have seen in Chesterfield County that libraries are open just four days a week, is the only solution to a minimal library system privatizing libraries?

I know that I have intervening variables as part of my theory which I will piece together in time. 

So far how does this sound?
