No More Books


University libraries in S. California and Texas are beginning to ditch books for computer worktables. They say this is the future.

But, will ALL books be digitalized and available online?
As new books are written are they automatically digitalized?
Does the library pay a subscription fee to have the right to let students view non-public domain materials?
What if you don't have internet access at home. How can you "sign out a book?"

These are just a few questions I have.
