While reading the chapter by Farmer (2014) on the use of print and digital referencing materials, there were a number of issues that came to mind on this subject.  There is nothing like finding information in a physical book in my opinion! Looking through the book to locate the information you need is great! The downside of having a printed version is the relevance of the reference. Information that is relevant today might be irrelevant tomorrow.  Having access to digital reference materials ensures the relevance of the information provided. Farmer (2014) did have a valid point regarding the accessibility of the materials due to funding changes from year to year. My main issues with digital resources is the reliability of the network and the quality of the devices used to access the content. In my previous workplace both were substandard. I believe a mix of both print and digital reference materials is ideal. Until the technology is adequate, both will be needed.
