Whenever a library administrator issues a proclamation like this, best to always be on one's guard.

Sometimes digitization makes sense, and sometimes it doesn't.

Unfortunately, "Bold Library Leadership" (tm) seldom cares much for reasoned, careful, discriminating nuance.

No, their attitude is more ALL YOUR (DATA)BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
