This op-ed was published earlier today in the CSU Fullerton student newspaper, the Daily Titan.
Back in the pre-digital age, when university libraries bought physical resources, graduating students knew that the university library collections would continue to be there for them. Even if it meant a trip back to campus, that reservoir of curated knowledge would always be available to enjoy.
These days, graduating students are sadly, abruptly and completely cut off from most of the digital resources that we librarians work so hard to supply and teach students how to use.
How did this happen? How have libraries learned to hate commencement?
