[Web4lib] Campus without a physical library

[Steven Kaye]

Are you thinking of this?

"In the mid-1990s, a college administrator announced that the new  
California State University-Monterey Bay (CSU-MB) campus would open  
without a physical library and then retracted the statement following  
adverse reactions
from faculty.10 CSU-MB is now planning to open a 200,000 square foot  
library in 2006-2007."
