That's a really interesting question! But I'm going to be annoying and
respond with questions - which users? And what kind of access?
I think it's a golden age for researchers - resources like the Internet
Archive and Gallica are transforming scholarship.
I also imagine that Sunday night last-minute school projects are
infinitely easier, and hopefully more interesting.
But there's also so much on the internet that between the lolcats and
YouTube virals it's difficult for cultural heritage content to find its
way to casual browsers. That doesn't quite answer your question but
it's hopefully slightly more informative that 'it depends'.
Cheers, Mia
