The "browsing" type of research is extremely important for academic research as well. I love texts being available online, but I've also found many new sources and leads to chase by physically browsing library stacks.
- wrp 4y agoI do most of my materials hunting online now, and I think I'm pretty good at it, but for discovery/serendipity it is still inferior to going into the stacks. A big problem with digital searching is that even if everything you could want is digitized, the search interface channels you in ways you can't fully appreciate.
