I just came back from an errand. Every couple years I run out of computation pads (I don't do a lot anymore). The local stationer charges a lot, but there's a good sized university bookstore some distance that sells them for half the price, so if I'm in that area for something else, I stop by and get a new supply. So I did today. Then, as long as I had driven that far, and paid to park, I thought I'd browse a bit. Over the past twenty years or so, I've gotten a couple good books out of this shop, so I wandered over to where the engineering books were, or rather where they used to be. They had been moved and replaced by several shelves of "self-help" and pop-psychology books. I looked around but found nothing, so I went over to the nice clerk and asked where the engineering books were. She gave me a look like I was something she had stepped in, and said "We got rid of those."
This is a school with probably more than a thousand engineering students, and they have no engineering books except for the required texts. Is this happening all over? Am I really so far behind the times?
