Why the computer science library is useless
Today I went to the university library cause for some reason I thought that I could get some information there. What was I thinking?
This enormous building with 90 km of books has a computer science section. The computer science section is highlighted in red:
Yes, that’s a whopping 2 bookcases. And most of the books are about things like Algol60 (a programming language dating from 1960), Fortran and cutting edge computer graphics… from 1991. Completely useless. There were hardly any books on recent topics, let alone books that were really up to date. I guess it’s hard for a library to keep up with new techniques, but this is ridiculous. At least I know I won’t ever have to go back there again.
