Fool's Gold
Author: Mark Y. Herring
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786453931
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
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.
