Sign of the Times: State Digests for the Cost of Postage

Tuesday the below offer was posted on law-lib. I doubt even a start-up law school library like Belmont needs any of the listed state digests including TN Digest 2d. Considering the upkeep costs for West's Ohio Digest (and Ohio Jurisprudence, etc.), change in research preferences to something called keyword searching online and the connection between the two in terms of print pricing increases, I'm thinking our state digest (and other below listed 19th Century publication types) may not be updated any longer and will eventually find their way to the recycling center just like our Decennials and Federal Practice digests did earlier this year whether or not we retain Westlaw. Why not already? Tied to our Westlaw license. The below graphic is posted on our little county law library's bulletin board as an FYI for our patrons. [JH]
