George, you do have a point. But those hard copies too need to be preserved. What happens when the online storage system crashes, or there is server problem which could lead to delay in information retrieval. The truth is as much libraries should embrace digital innovation, we cannot totally phase out our book collections.
The best part about scrolling and spending a few seconds under stuff related to U. Chicago is that there almost always exists a decent and gentlemanly mode of conversation between the commenters. Thank you guys for maintaining that level. Props to all!

Sorry, U. Chicago. This is the backward way of information management. Digitizing everything and putting it online is the way to go.
They're digitizing lots of materials in Mansueto too www.lib.uchicago.edu/mansueto/tech/preservation/

A great point, Philips.
For many of these texts yes. But a good amount of these are historical artifacts in and over themselves. They need to be kept somewhere.
