ATOMS VS BITS
Regarding electronic catalogues, Don Tjossem writes: "I would
compare the electronic media to books as I would books to
stone. People used to write on stone, then there came books
and now there is the electronic media , which can be preserved
on hardrives and disks. I'll bet in a few years (20-30) books
may be as scarce as hen's teeth. Why even in my college library
I see them removing the "stacks" of books and replacing them
with computers for research. What do you think??"
