I found another example of the odd policy of the Times towards obituaries. One of the grand old men of British librarianship, Douglas Foskett, died. I only heard pf this thorugh the daily information service put out by CILIP, which referred me to a Times obituary. I always read the Times and I never miss the obituaries, so where was it? It certainly wasn't in the tabloid edition, so must have been only in the broadsheet and online editions, in spite of the assurances the paper gave when they introduced the tabloid that the content would be identical across the two print formats.
