Explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries, and makes a case for the library's staying power in the face of technological advancements.

This work skeptically explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries. It makes a case for the library''s staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM''s were all once predicted as the contemporary library''s heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material.
