College libraries' move toward digital collections irks some traditionalists

From The Bay Citizen: San Francisco State University has been renovating and expanding its library since 2008, and now the overhauled building is finished and partly open to students. But visitors may notice something lacking: books. In a move that has thrilled some university employees and horrified others, only 25 percent of the collection of more than a million books and other materials will be available for browsing. San Francisco State is not alone; experts say there is a national trend toward digitizing university libraries.
