A June 21, 2005 article from MSNBC discusses how libraries may be impacted by the digitalization of printed materials. Many students rely solely on the Internet for research information, rather than utilizing books in print that are available at a library. As more printed works are scanned and posted online, experts question what future role libraries will play for students and society at large. While visits to libraries have increased in recent years, some believe this may be due to the Internet access offered to patrons.
