When was the last time you visited your campus or public library?
I was reading a couple of blog posts, one by my colleague Thomas Curtis on this blog called, “Terminating Education” and then the other by Convergence Training called, “Will Libraries Be Around in 10 Years? 20? 50?” and both of these articles made me ask myself the question “When was the last time I physically went into a library?” I honestly can’t remember. Yes, its been that long. I graduated from university for over a year now, but even then it was a very rare occasion for me to visit the library because I had access to resources such as EBSCOhost and Google Scholar for research and papers.
A few questions to ponder…
- When was the last time you went to the library?
- Do you think traditional libraries hold any value to the majority of the public any longer?
- What would you think if the government got rid of all traditional libraries and put in one huge virtual library?
Sounds off and let us know what you think?
