Editor's Notes
- There are so many devices now that people need and want to use. It’s scary to keep up with the technology, and it is often costly.
- But we’ve always had to deal with technology in libraries. Decisions about what we would lend, how we would lend it, would there be a cost has always been around.
- We can’t fear our patrons. And we need to know that what we will buy will not be in collection 5, 10, or 20 years from now.
- Gone with the Wind cost about $100 issue when it was issue on VHS. Many libraries purchased a copy even though it was expensive and even though it might not come back. Within 10 years, the technology was obsolete.
