Examines Nicholson Baker's 2001 book, Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper, which criticized libraries for not preserving resources like books and newspapers in their original formats. The author argues libraries need to do more preservation work, including born-digital objects, to prevent the widespread loss of cultural history.
