Update: Abu Dhabi to Fund Partial Bobst Digitization

2755384533_49f7853dfc-1Yesterday’s WSN report that “all Bobst holding will be digitized” courtesy of Middle Eastern sugar daddy Abu Dhabi is incorrect.

Although the Abu Dhabi government apparently hopes for a digitization of all Bobst holdings — 5.1 million volumes, according to the WSN — no other university has completely digitized their libraries. (Ed Note: Entire Bobst collection will not be digitized. See update.) [...]
