| Abstract: | The financial and economic crisis that started simmering in 2007 and came to a full boil in late 2008 affected organizations of every kind, including independent research libraries large and small. Having just completed long-term, strategic planning, the Newberry Library found itself having to make big adjustments to carefully crafted plans, in just a few weeks. These remarks explore how the Newberry's response to this crisis, despite much institutional pain, has strengthened it considerably—and what some of its independent peers have done at the same time.
