Research libraries expand or renovate their facilities about every decade. With physical collections still growing, this cycle consumes capital investment capacity. Wouldn’t we (and our users) be better off if our universities instead invested capital funds in new technologies? Do we need costly library buildings in the “heart of the university,” and what purpose do they serve?
