DOES A NEW LIBRARY REALLY NEED BOOKS?

Marquette University is building a new library. Only one problem – too many books to get in the way. Originally the $70 million library was to be conventional – just bigger. “But that began to seem old-fashioned. Now, the proposal is to keep books in the old library, and in the new one create a cyber cafe, complete with Internet hookups, a ‘technology warehouse,’ and spaces for live video conferences and large, computer-driven presentations. ” – Chicago Tribune
