5 years on this campus and I only just now realized that our university library has no books 🤔 I guess it hasn't been a problem if I'm only now just noticing but it's a rather odd realization about the nature of digital scholarship

(allegedly there are some books in the basement, maybe? but all 4 floors of the main library are devoid of both books and computers)

Printed books are not obsolete, they have their points, despite the space they take up.

And I know for a fact that not all have been converted to ebook.

It's barely conceivable that Northeastern converted all of *their* collection to ebook form -- but I strongly, strongly doubt it.

So that's very weird, even though, yes, many prefer ebooks.
