This is not unfamiliar to me. And yet:
May this not also mean that many people spend a lot of time fiddling
with Google even when what they are looking for is not there and
cannot be there because it isn't online at all? Thereby losing all
the time they might have needed to find and obtain a copy of the one and
only right book. For the time being, information seeking skills
must not be dumbed and narrowed down but are in need of a grading up.
