The most interesting point about the new Robarts Library expansion is the justification about this expansion occuring even in the electronic era. There is further justification of people needing at least a place to study. On the other hand, Toronto's Public Library system is constantly increasing it's computer terminals in all of it's branches. How has studying changed? Do students still take books out of libraries or is it easier to google your query? Computers are slowly replacing books. It will be interesting to see what the new Robarts will boast as the University hub adopts a new medium.
