Another library science book I was not impressed with. Although the author has a couple of good points, overall his biases are pretty clear. They became clear in the introductory segment when he questions the sanity of some of his readers (maybe he needs to remember the First Amendment gives freedoms of expression and reading and that maybe the government should stay out of certain things). Overall, a lack of common sense. Pretty much another book about why libraries will not disappear. I have seen the arguments made better elsewhere. ( )

Der entscheidende Punkt hier war wohl, dass digitale Daten innerhalb von Fünf Jahren verfallen.

Weitere Punkte waren, dass Referenzen noch schneller verfallen - ein Link wird vielleicht drei Jahre lang überleben, wenn wir Glück haben.
