over the past few weeks, I've learned a lot of new stuff about libraries. before this class, I didn't really give much thought to libraries, thinking of them solely as places to get books. after completing activities such as the library visit, though, I've found out that libraries provide much more than just books. I definitely do not think that libraries are not needed now that the internet is more accessible - libraries hold tons of information that is not available online. even though I do use the internet much more than I visit the library, I still rely on the library for research that is not freely available online.
and ebooks are no replacement for real books.

Hello Runxin,
ReplyDeleteThis is Daryl. I believe you have some strong valid points about the library. I agree that a large population of people use the internet more for research than a library. But I definitely disagree with you in stating that "libraries are not needed now that the internet is more accessible." You have to consider the population of people who do not have access to the Internet and rely heavily on the library for research, tutoring and other programs. I love your statement "E-books are no replacement for real books."
