A few years ago, prognosticators were saying that the digital movement would drive libraries out of business. Well, those who thought such was going to happen overnight must be terribly disappointed. Only a small percent of the world’s in­ formational resources have been digi­ tized. Digital resources, however, are a wonderful complement to the print col­ lections; they have improved access to information significantly and also have proved to be an asset in the preservation of the human record. The latest phenomenon driving the predictions of soothsayers about the de­ mise of libraries centers on the efforts of some vendors/companies to place a large collection of books online. If students can buy access to 250,000 titles of books placed online to support an undergraduate cur­ riculum, why would one need a library? The issue of how well balanced the online collection is for support of the respective curriculum must not be forgotten.
