In response to Thomas Sanders:

1.  You may take a telephone survey to find out how many libraries keep
paper files and why when they bring up an automated system.  Use the stat.
to demonstrate the costs of maintaining paper files.
2.  Show your colleagues that data on paper files are more easily available
electronically.

I guess that some people are more prone to cling to something familiar rather
than to learn new things.
