College libraries are high-tech wonders today, with rows of computers right alongside stacks of books.
Students can renew books from their own dorm room computers.
They can even search the reserve list and access sources instantly. Even materials outside the library's collection are available electronically. Even the shortest excursion on the information superhighway underscores the importance of education. Now, more than ever, you can't get there from here without guidance. The business of the libraries' reference desks is ample proof.
