Remember when librarians spent odd moments of their time with actual books rather than computers and databases? Remember, before serials and continuations went up in price 20% every year, long, long ago, when there actually was a “book budget” ? Weren’ t libraries more interesting and useful then? Wasn’ t working in them a little more fun? We’ve got a suggestion - rebel (just a little) - buy a book! Yes, funding is tight at best, and someone will probably scream if you cut your subscription to Nuclear Petrochemical Multicultural Quarterly ($4,500.00/year), or pass on that nifty new database Index to BioMathematics Articles by Left-Handed Scholars ($15,000.00), but why not stand up, take the heat and buy an actual book now and then? Act Now - Save the Future It is our view that books are the most cost-effective, durable and user-friendly form in which information can be conveyed, and that books form America’s principal cultural, intellectual and scholarly heritage. It is our view that information in other forms may be trendy, and get you a free lunch from the vendor’s rep with the nice suit (who probably hasn’t read anything besides self-help books since college), but who ever read a poem or novel off a screen? Great books do not come with a plug! We are not asking much, merely that you fight (one book at a time) to save the future!
