Thanks to the boom in digitized literature, students are increasingly able to forego the simple pleasures of the musty, dimly lit, and seemingly innumerable corridors of Widener: now the books are going online.With new developments in the digital revolution—an opaque term that essentially denotes all technological progress—the literary landscape is increasingly being pushed into the digital realm...
