Assured by a U.S. agent that the trip would be "like a vacation," Noorzai went to the U.S. to offer his cooperation against the resurgent Taliban. Now in jail, he can no longer supply intelligence, move his tribe away from the Taliban, persuade his followers to give up poppy farming or sway other warlords toward the political path.

Developing a single search engine that offers access to all of Harvard’s holdings—both physical and electronic, such as those contained in JSTOR and Academic Search Premier—will be crucial if Harvard’s burgeoning collection is to remain organized and accessible. Additionally, Harvard’s commitment...

In the last 10 years, physical bookstores have been increasingly abandoned for sites like Amazon.com that offer books at cheaper prices. But Amazon is not without its drawbacks: when consumers purchase books online, browsing becomes a thing of the past.
