YAY!

I got my Dickens fragment posted! My html was very rusty but it finally worked.

Here it is for your viewing pleasure: http://www.pitt.edu/~lcs27/

I didn't take to many liberties with it. (It hyperlinks off of that page)

Are libraries in trouble?

http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/98091589.html

Here is a link to an article that was in the Philadelphia Inquirer. It may be more along the lines of a bleeding heart for the library but it is definitely trying to be a call to arms for Philadelphia citizens, although it doesn't make a very successful case since it doesn't give to many direct examples for Philadelphians to relate to. Check it out and decide for yourself.

Another post about e-books

I found this article to be very interesting. I posted another article from this site a few posts ago and it really has some interesting stuff about what's going on with the library science field currently.

This article really has a great history about how e-books started and where they may be going.
