"It should be stamped out '...the computer is not for library use;
that
all the promises offered in its name are completely fraudulent; and that
not only is it extremely expensive compared to other methods at this

in a library weakens the library as a whole by draining off large sums of
money for a small return; and that it should be stamped out.'
--Ellwroth Mason, "Along the Acadmic Way," LJ, May 15, 1971"
