Abstract :
If students aren\´t reading and frequenting libraries, how is it that classroom business, particularly the business of assignments, continues as usual? Clearly, it doesn\´t take rocket scientists to know that the Web has become the primary source of information for student assignments. And although many might wring their hands over this change, let\´s stop and examine this "downward" trend in a broader context.
