I've found a similar rise in circulation.  Hardcover fiction books get
checked out as never before because it's so easy to find them in the
catalog and to read the description that grabs them.  Students find
books from obscure corners of the LMC.  I'm often surprised that we own
a certain book I see a student checking out.  It's marvelous!
