I. READING
Read the following text carefully.
GOING DIGITAL
All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of masking faithful digital copies of the
book, images and recordings that preserves the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars,
the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may
seem amateurish in retrospect.
Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects
without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British library, for example holds the only
medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin
S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different lights sources
(revealing details not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for
anyone to peruse. Tokyo’s National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs
of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that the
researchers can scrutinise them without handling the originals.
A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in
second rather than minutes. Several people simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture.
Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the internet to lend their
virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.
The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnectic disk
rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of
California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books-
an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast has fallen to about $2 per 300
-page publication and continues to drop.
