Haha, very true. In a film with much head choppings and axe smashings, the thing that made me wince most was "too much fire near the paper, too much fire near the paper"

So the moral of the story, kids: A well resourced, professionally staffed Library and Archive service will enrich your community and prevent an evil dark lord from establishing cruel dominion over all living things until the end of time (t-shirt from punks&chancers)

If quality ocr'd documents were available through a well designed discovery platform underpinned by accurate and exact metadata Gandalf would have been able to bring up the doc on a phone from Hobbiton They'd have been in Rivendell before the Ringwraiths tied their laces

If Minas Tirith had a "little free library" operated by volunteers, Gandalf may well have still been sifting through badly stacked piles of paperwork when the Nazgul kicked doors down in Hobbiton and dragged Frodo off for a "little chat" in Barad-Dûr...
