I would appreciate your comments on the following questions regarding vertical files in libraries - 1. Has electronic access to image and text databases changed the nature of the vertical file collection? 2. If your institution has an electronic finding aid for the vertical file, has this affected usage of the collection? 3. Does anyone collect born-digital ephemera? If yes, what's your experience? I am not interested in hard numbers as much as in perceptions and sensibilities.
