Abstract
Description
By 2040, libraries will transit from viewing print books as the standard form for preservation to using digital editions as the copy of record. Libraries will pulp most of their print collections and retain mostly small special collections. Climate change and the resulting political and social instability will drive this transition, but there are potential gains for readers and research if we choose as libraries to pursue them.
