About books, I'd say it is all or nothing. Small libraries books won't be of any use. But when I was in Lyon, the main library is an old institution that contains archives of 100 years of newspapers and scientific publications.

I once had to look for the media impact of a 1987 trial, and behold, they had the microfilm.

Let's take a moment to remember that we could digitize all this but that stupid copyright laws makes it forbidden.

I hope we manage to reform these before these libraries stop getting funded.
