[Web4lib] Campus without a physical library

[Leslie Johnston]

I thought it might be UC Merced.  I have a vague memory that they initially planned it as digital/online only.  But then I searched and found the library was among the first buildings constructed, so I'm not trusting my memory.  They do focus on digital over physical collections.

I also thought it might be Cal State San Marcos, but they seem to have always have some physical library presence and approximately 250,000 volumes.

Yeah, I want to say it was Cal State Monterey Bay, which was established in 1994.  I could be wrong.

Not only did Monterey Bay build a library building, but they are set to open a new, larger one here in just a few weeks. :-)

I believe that was in the California higher education system.  I do not remember what campus.  If I remember correctly a library building was finally built there.

Folks,

I need to track down some information.

Some time ago there was some writing and discussion in web4lib
about a college or university that was planned or built without a physical
 library, it was supposed to be fully electronic. I have been trying
to track down
if this was just
1) rumours of being planned or
2) actually planned or
3) actually built.
and, if any of these, where?

Can anyone help me out here?

Even
