Thanks to Barbara Leff, Stephanie, and everyone else who has commented on this important topic. I'd add Nick Harkaway's book "The Gutenberg Elegies", written first in the 90s and revised in about 2006.
In our 3000-title library -- and I suspect in many of yours -- we're dealing with both the issues related to what to buy from now forward, and what to do and how to promote what we already have. While it's good to know the professionals agree with us in many ways, the questions don't go away; they only multiply. And we need to find a way (and preferrably many more than one) to connect our congregants and other patrons with the information they need. Fred Isaac Temple Sinai Oakland, CA
