I’m not sure what handling more digital content means. Are you talking about doing something technology-wise to increase bandwith or some other speed/size metric? Or simply putting our digital resources more front and center on our pages?

And, his comment was:
“I didn’t realize the RIAA was the source of this data. That’s like asking Chris Christie to determine our circ stats.”

Because the person who watches the movie may buy all the other merchandising crap that goes with it.

So, they aren’t buying CDs or digital, but pirating from the library.

They will survive as long as cars keep having CDs in their stereo system. When you start seeing cars without them (much like tape decks in cars), then it will be a noticeable shift in the market.

That is more impressive given that our overall circulation was down 1.5%. In fact, based on percentage increase, CD circulation was nearly 10 percentage points higher than the next category (which was CD audiobooks). I’d be curious what other libraries experienced? And it will be interesting to see what happens this year. It may be that CD collections in libraries will have a little longer lifetime relative the consumer market.
