NY Times article on library technology

[Sloan, Bernie]

Gnatek, Tim. Libraries Reach Out, Online. New York Times, December 9,
2004.

An excerpt:

"E-books are only one way that libraries are laying claim to a massive
online public as their newest service audience. The institutions are
breaking free from the limitations of physical location by making many
kinds of materials and services available at all times to patrons who
are both cardholders and Web surfers, whether they are homebound in the
neighborhood or halfway around the world."
