Abstract
The floppy disk drive is expected to become obsolete soon. However, this issue has been little addressed in library professional journals. This article reports the results of a Web‐based survey that aimed at ascertaining what plans, if any, librarians have for dealing with this technological change to retain effective library services. Our survey found that librarians, especially academic, care about portable data storage for their patrons but do not have any clear plans.
