[Publib] The Demise of the Libraries - Not

[Judith Turner]

If you haven't seen it, here's a link to a fascinating 
piece in the latest issue of New Yorker:

The article is titled Future Reading: Digitization and its discontents and is by Anthony Grafton.  It's a thought-provoking look at libraries, scholars and the promises (no always kept) of new technologies and their impact on the printed word.
