However, this is also not without unfortunate consequences—many attach an important sentimental value to hard copies of books that cannot be replicated in equally massive, but electronic, collections. But we already possess large stores of physical texts that will not be abolished by library reforms; the “profound stimulus to the imagination” of walking through the Widener stacks described by English Professor Robert Scanlan will not be a victim of reforms...

Indeed, we’ve seen throughout the economic crisis that unregulated capital is often prone to fall to the aged, entrenched, and socially disconnected...
