How has the SCOTUS changed over the past 20 years and how is it the same?

One of my favorite older NPR stories is the coverage of the Vietnam War protests that aired on the first broadcast in May 1971. You are transported back to the busy and crowded streets in DC instantly.

Good question! Most of our collection is on CD (from 1984-2013) with these CD copies being created in the last 3-5 years. 1971-1983 are still on reel-to-reel tapes and we convert to digital files as requests come in. From May 2013 - present we only store digital files.

Library Science/Information Science is a VERY flexible degree. There will always be a need to disseminate information. While some principles from the 80's will still be relevant the method that they applied will continue to change.
