Have we just all become googlets. Or something? How does a person get hard copies of stuff for science and other things for a fiscal year? I can further explain if need be.

I have an array of 8TB hard drives, and cycling 1TB drives that are rotated through a safe deposit box.
These use a file system that has built in encryption and integrity protection, as well as rollback functionality.
That means that I know immediately if some data has changed unintentionally, and can compare the file hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256 or all of the above) across devices to see if the files match. Since I always have at least 3 copies, if someone modified one of them, I’d know which one changed.
8TB is around 4.4 billion pages of typed text.
Assuming each hardback contains 10,000 pages (just to be generous), that’s 440,000 hardbacks stored in triplicate, fully and (relatively) instantly searchable.
