Description
It makes a case for the library’s staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM’s were all once predicted as the contemporary library’s heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
Notes
- "This work skeptically explores the notion that the Internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print- based academic libraries, and makes a case for the library’s staying power in the face of technological advancements"–Provided by publisher
