The second paragraph in History here is... odd. Obscure and written in pseudo-high register, with little meaning when pulled apart. What's an "insidious yet drastic paradigm-shift" and would that even mean anything if sourced? Temerarius ( talk) 18:30, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

The "resources" section is also misguided, for instance "index cards" and "drawers with folders" were already outdated by the 1990s and should be replaced with more generic terms which can encompass current technologies too.

Hello! I have added a paragraph (and probably more edits to come) in the History section to bring the history reference desk up to present-day. It was copied and pasted from my sandbox. User:MCL7675/sandbox MCL7675 ( talk) 15:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
