Other changes in store? The shrinking role of LexisNexis and 
libraries will become even smaller.

Subject: Major newspapers folding?

There's been a rash of closings (or threatened closings) of some
notable newspapers recently:

Rocky Mountain News (in business 150 years)
http://tinyurl.com/c5h55g

San Francisco Chronicle (in business 144 years)
http://tinyurl.com/df9dvb

Seattle Post-Intelligencer (in business 146 years)

Makes one wonder what other changes are in store for the
newspaper industry, the publishing industry, and the information
industry in general.
