Help is on hand with the digital availability of literature. Most of the non copyright books in the world can be available on about 20 slim CDs or DVDs. Students will be able to get relevant sections of text books or learned journal papers down loaded onto their own CDs for study at home. It is possible to get projectors that throw a large picture of the PC screen onto a white wall. You can change the pages at the press of a button.
Every student can have a major library stored in a few feet of shelf space.
If it was necessary you could print off any essential pages as hard copy. Also it is usually much quicker to find information of the web that in the library. I can search the web and usually find what I want in about five minutes, whilst it would have taken about 30 minutes to an hour, and a lot of walking about, and lifting heavy volumes off the shelf to find the same information in the library from books.
