I was reading a couple of blog posts, one by my colleague Thomas Curtis on this blog called, “Terminating Education” and then the other by Convergence Training called, “Will Libraries Be Around in 10 Years? 20? 50?” and both of these articles made me ask myself the question “When was the last time I physically went into a library?”
