Revolution in the Library.

Himmelfarb, Gertrude

Library Trends, v47 n4 p612-19 Spr 1999

There is an electronic revolution in the library which may prove to be a revolution in the humanities and in the nature of learning and education. The humanities are an essentially human enterprise of which the record reposes in books in libraries. The central role of libraries in preserving these ideas must survive the electronic revolution.
