Abstract
Perhaps the one constant in every business is the need to cope with technological change, and libraries are no exception. In fact, libraries may be one of the most affected industries - with technological change impacting not only how libraries do business, but also what services they provide and how collections are built and maintained. While reading this brief history of the various technologies that have gone the way of the Dodo, librarians are asked to contemplate how they keep themselves relevant in our ever-evolving technological world of information access.
