BBC: Paperless Public Libraries (13.05.21)
The BBC News Service presented this opinion article on Wednesday May 21, 2013 (13.05.21) speculating on the likely welcome digital public libraries will receive some day soon, especially to page turning "book-o-philes." For the trend is to create them as soon as possible and make them available to the world of Internet users. And the "imagined threat" is that digital libraries will replace books-on-paper libraries! The article uses as an example the new digital public library service available online in the city of San Antonio in Bexar County, Texas. Initially the digital library will have 10,000 e-books. Access is most likely through computers located in the many well stocked "brick and mortar" libraries in and around San Antonio.
