A Bookless Library on a College Campus?

Readers,

I thought this video about bookless libraries was very interesting given the fact that Borders Bookstore is closing its doors soon. Will all libraries adopt this approach in the future?

Readers,

This week's "Wandering Wednesday" post is focused on the "Worst Professor Ever: Alternative Adult Education" blog. This is a neat blog by a female professor, Amanda Krauss who decided to leave the academy to "get a life in Austin". I think her blog is very interesting and I will definitely add her RSS feed to my Google Reader! :)

Check out her blog, "The Worst Professor Ever: Alternative Adult Education".
