I think it’ll depend a lot on where we’re talking. I was working for a community college that had just barely digitized a couple years ago, and a fair amount was still on paper because it required funding and approval to do it, neither of which were easy to come by. Granted it took them nearly two years to hire me, so they don’t exactly work fast.
The VA got into some trouble a couple years ago for relying on paper and falling behind in supporting veterans; it’s probably the most egregious case. It’s generally a funding issue, though.
OH well yea that’s a whole different thing and now I know exactly what you’re talking about LMAO. Yea, old CCs are allergic to anything requiring funding unless it makes more money (I worked IT for a CC too, never again.)
