That's the important part. It _is_ important, at least I think so,
collectively, that some library somewhere (and ideally more than one)
keep paper copies of stuff like this -- stuff we have online, stuff
nobody ever looks at, etc.
But it's _not_ neccesary for _every_ library to keep a duplicate copy of
the same thing that nobody ever actually uses.
Cross-library state-wide or what have you arrangements to make sure
_somebody's_ keeping it are the way to go. I know there's been lots of
talk and planning around that over the past few years, I don't
personally have a sense of how well it's working, because it's not my
area of work.
