I read with great interest the recent article by Will Pearson on the growing shift at Bata Library to e-books and commend him for a timely and thoughtful article.
Quite apart from the high risk of disposing of printed material in favour of electronic resources, Mr. Wilson points out a significant drawback to this shift - the growing inability of alumni to access this electronic material. As a regular user of the resources at Bata for my ongoing research and writing to support community projects, I am concerned that I will no longer have full access to the library's collection. This, at a time when alumni are called upon to provide greater support for the many university initiatives.
I would urge library administrators to work with the alumni to devise a plan that would permit access to the growing body of electronic resources for former students who have and continue to contribute to the success and reputation of Trent.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
"Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system."
