| Summary: | "We've got an investment in thousands of books in each of our libraries that, in some ways, are being underutilized," said librarian Mary Case of the University of Illinois at Chicago. "You can't study European history without older materials," Northwestern University librarian Sarah Pritchard said. "Until now, high-quality, substantive material online has been primarily recent. ... We do hear feedback from faculty that students need to get into older materials." "In one window, (students) will have a book open, but in another window, it is likely they will have their e-mail open and their instant messenger running," said [Jenn Wild], who lives in Westmont. "It is still the Internet." |
