I went to a session called Beyond OUr Walls. It discussed the Linda Hall library in Kansas City, and how it is a strictly print library which also focuses on literature in Science, Technology and Engineering. Researchers are able to go to this library and read things that only are available at this location. People from universities are able to come and learn more about whatever field of study they prefer and its relation to either Science, Technology, Engineering. The person giving the lecture, works in the library and talked about how important it is to them to keep the on going trend of only print things because books and journals lose appeal and personality when they are on an electronic device. They lose some of the meaning because they are unable to really get a feel for what the literature is.
