They&#39;re not rats. They&#39;re not drawn by garbage; they&#39;re drawn by people (clean people and filthy people) exhaling in their sleep.Kensingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09745826428431759073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-26982561283662747522012-12-10T10:02:21.491-06:002012-12-10T10:02:21.491-06:00If you deduce from the above that big publishers a...If you deduce from the above that big publishers are intentionally screwing libraries when it comes to e-texts by making them unaffordable for libraries so they can sell more themselves, you&#39;re 100% correct.

Some publishers including and especially the largest ones make it near-impossible for libraries to afford e-texts by charging libraries four or five times as much for e-texts as they charge consumers, AND sharply limit the number of checkouts before the e-text self-destructs. Libraries can&#39;t afford them. And many publishers don&#39;t make e-texts of some new works available to libraries at all. <br /><br />Not to mention that most large libraries have holdings of a million or more items for which comparable e-texts simply <i>do not exist</i>, nor if they did exist could the libraries afford to buy those items all over again in e-formats. When recession hits local government budgets, library budgets get hit harder than most other public services.<br /><br />When I hear people talk about how libraries are going to be all-digital in the near future, I LMAO. Not anytime soon, they won&#39;t be. It&#39;s like the paperless office everyone was crowing about in the early &#39;90s. Yes, technology meant every bit of information handled could be handled with less paper, but it also made information-handling so cheap that the amount of info being managed exploded even faster than the amount of paper for each bit reduced, and we ended up actually using MORE paper. We&#39;ll get there someday, but it won&#39;t be soon.Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03842067230152580405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-47589259872901065232012-12-09T02:46:39.523-06:002012-12-09T02:46:39.523-06:00I saw on Dirty Jobs that cockroaches love eloctrom...I saw on Dirty Jobs that cockroaches love eloctromagnetic energy, so e-books would be an attractant.SCOTTtheBADGERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12859188068159799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-25232250140578573202012-12-08T17:59:45.783-06:002012-12-08T17:59:45.783-06:00Does Calvino&#39;s IF on a Winter&#39;s Night A Tr...Does Calvino&#39;s <i>IF on a Winter&#39;s Night A Traveler</i> lose all meaning in the world of Kindle?Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12623422545436294378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-30663915510143908352012-12-08T16:38:45.399-06:002012-12-08T16:38:45.399-06:00Palladian &quot;The article wasn&#39;t about New Y...
