As for the scanning books into computers, i disagree. I like to hold them. I hate reading books off a computer.

Well, me too. I buy them from Amazon. But if one is doing a research paper, it is a hell of a lot easier if the books are on computer and you can search for what you are looking for. Then, if you really need the book you pay the library a few bucks to get it from the warehouse.

yeah thats a good point. Then again in college i never went to the school library for research. Thats what a dorm with Internet access is for.

I know, we can give it a nicer name than "warehouse", like "repository".
