“I claim that this bookless library is a dream, a hallucination of on-line addicts; network neophytes, and library-automation insiders...Instead, I suspect computers will deviously chew away at libraries from the inside.

Libraries will become adept at supplying the public with fast, low-quality information. The result won't be a library without books--it'll be a library without value.” ChildrenBookDreamValuesLinesResultsQualityInformationComfortableComputerLowsClaimsLibraryBudgetsSuspectsScholarAddictLibrarianHallucinationsInsidersAdeptAutomation Author:Clifford Stoll
