As a university research assistant in 1989, I spent countless hours chasing down references, locating scientific journals, ordering books and journals from other campuses, and making tons of xerox copies of useful articles. Of course all this was in the university library. Today, I find this type of legwork is greatly reduced (though not completely eliminated) due to electronic tracking systems and electronic publications. I do like the feel of paper and books, but efficiency is the big win here.
