On an unrelated note, the findings that are discussed in the Chroncicle article 
were presented at the EDUCAUSE conference in Atlanta earlier this week. 

Some of the conference sessions* are available online. 

Go to:
http://www.educause.edu/conference/e2002/netcast.asp

One of the netcasts available is Clifford Lynch's 
session titled, "What's Become of the Digital Library?"


*Unfortunately, the session that's discussed in the Chronicle article is not 
available.

cheers,
