Short article linking to a study that shows that students are increasingly turning to online materials for research. But that doesn't mean the special collections libraries set up of subscribe to: "Nearly all respondents (99%) said they use electronic resources for their schoolwork. However, they use the World Wide Web, then email, before they use library-sponsored electronic databases."

I huess that 'comfortable feeling of holding a book' doesn't carry so much weight (or perhaps, weighs too muc) when you have work to do. Via Open Access News.
