The voice of humor as well as reason. We've had this discussion before
with our Archivist who is totally anti-machine. She has a beautiful card
catalog for searching the items in the collection, and of course there's
no fear of the system going down. I don't think the Web or other
Internet type services will replace print media. I still prefer to
snuggle down with a good book than stare bleary-eyed at a monitor. Not
the same experience. And I don't want to hear from any anthropologists
(or sociologists for that matter).
