Academics say complete journal collections, valuable books and newspapers dating to the 19th century are being thrown out to clear space for cafe-style lounges.

  This is interesting because the article is not saying the books are outdated or there is a lack of space, but instead the library is making the choice to create more of a coffee shop feel. I wonder if other university libraries will follow suit? If so, is this a matter of giving the patrons what they want or making it okay to ignore valuable books?

This article discusses a university who is choosing to discard books so that they can create more seating for a coffee shop style atmosphere. Is this the future of university libraries?
