520    "Libraries today are more important than ever. More than 
       just book repositories, libraries can become bulwarks 
       against some of the most crucial challenges of our age: 
       unequal access to education, jobs, and information.  In 
       BiblioTech, educator and technology expert John Palfrey 
       argues that anyone seeking to participate in the 21st 
       century needs to understand how to find and use the vast 
       stores of information available online. And libraries, 
       which play a crucial role in making these skills and 
       information available, are at risk. In order to survive 
       our rapidly modernizing world and dwindling government 
       funding, libraries must make the transition to a digital 
       future as soon as possible-by digitizing print material 
       and ensuring that born-digital material is publicly 
       available online.  Not all of these changes will be easy 
       for libraries to implement.  But as Palfrey boldly argues,
       these modifications are vital if we hope to save libraries
       and, through them, the American democratic ideal. "--
