Sinopsis

This work skeptically explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries. 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.
