"What is the role of a library at a time when so much information can be
accessed in digital form? Is it to be a research site, an archive, or something
more? Is a library even a library if it has no books?"
Change is happening. The trick is to preserve what needs to be preserved and
accommodate the forever growing archives on a limited budget. Both lending and
research libraries are tremendously valuable in their own ways.
