Progress!
This just in: Twilight and New Moon are here! For those readers new to the Twilight Saga, the books are part of the urban fantasy genre, meaning the stories take place in real locations but contain a mix of humans and fantasy characters. The Twilight Saga is about the difficulties of love between a human teen (Bella Swan) and a vampire (Edward Cullen).
The Twilight books are great for some light summer reading. Catch up with the first two books before the New Moon movie comes out later this year!

As more print resources turn to a digital only format, how will this information be archived for future researchers and historians? As some of our paper past evaporates, will our digitized future lead to a historical black hole, an empty space where our society should be?
