[LM_NET] Target:Gen:Two pieces of information about books v technology

["Xena's Mom" <mmmcu@CHARTER.NET>]

Dear Colleagues:
I am looking for two pieces of information.  I seem to recall an essay
or poem about a new invention that reveals itself as a book when you get
to the end.  Can someone point me to that narrative?  I have checked the
archives and done an online search.  I must be using the wrong terms.
 
Also I seem to remember reading an article about the university in
California that created a library with no books but found that did not
work and they have been buying books like crazy.
 
Any help would be appreciated.  
 
Sincerely,
Margie Culver, Librarian
Charlevoix Elementary and Middle School
