In recent years the university obtained electronic subscriptions to most journals. If you wanted to read a paper you just searched for it and pulled it up on your computer screen in your office. I hardly ever went to the library anymore. They actually had a committee to brainstorm new ways to use the library building space, since the physical library was becoming obsolete.
