http://search-engines-web.com/ shares this story from thedartmouth.com which says,
"Reference librarians at the College agree that students nationwide are turning to the Internet or online databases more often for research rather than heading to the library, but they say Dartmouth bucks the trend. The number of library users asking the reference desk for help has remained stable over the past few years."
Not necessarily …
Stable reference desk inquiries do not imply that Dartmouth users “buck the trend” considering that enrollment has increased 6 percent over the past several years.
