e-Branches
I don't like to copy-paste articles into blogposts, but for anyone interested in the idea of e-branches, here's a good article I found. (available at UNL through OmniFile)
Kenny, Brian. "The Virtual Gets Real." Library Journal, 2003, vol 128 (15): 32-35.
"Librarians have been exploring electronic content and services for years, certainly since the card catalogs were automated in the early 1980s and users could access them through dial-up connections later in the decade. But in the past few years, with online content exploding via full-text databases and e-books, and new services, such as chat reference, suddenly available, the whole notion of the virtual library has become much more real."
