Hey Jon

Just got around to looking at this...ah, me.  The stuff in this article is
simply another profoundly tedious riff on arguments and contentions that
have been made endless before in the past decade...some of it is just
plain stupid shooting the breeze: to wit:

Within ten years, most academic information will be available in digital
format.

Gimme a major break.  More stuff will be available, but get real...

 I thought this article in INSIDE HIGHER ED had a few interesting tidbits
 in
 it.

 as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
 communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video

A much more level-headed and realistic view.  Thanks Myles.

I get verry cranky when I read generic geewhiz prognostication about
the future of libraries and information.  The other pontifications in the
article that Jon forwarded are equally annoying.
