Summary
An elite boarding school in Ashburnham. Their are just spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovating library,even change the well and carpets. This library is different from general library we saw. There is a new cafe where the circulation desk used to be. Before the students stood beside the stacks found books, but now students sit in easy chairs, studying or watching one of the three new flat-screen TVs. School officials had noticed the trend. The student students weren't turning to printed materials for research. instead they were go to online.

I have never seen library like that. just in the movie I saw. This is experiment school,but I am envy they have digital school library. I like using search material online. It is convenience and fast,but in other hand, I was a little worry. Because Internet have to many thing you can do. Sometime, When I study, I should shut off my computer. I couldn't concentrate on study and If someday the Internet system is break. How is my life.

digital library ? is there a fantastic place to take a rest ? Does it need ? Is it logical, rational, and realistic ? I think a library is not to take a rest, but to study harder in general. In any meaning you're right. In a movie we can see the wonderful sight with a library.
ReplyDeleteIt's not realistic. your topic is good.
Both of you make interesting points.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I hear you saying that a digital library is a good thing. Kang, I hear you saying that it is not so good. I agree with you both.
I find that I learn more from digital media online - I read more, write more, do more research - than from going to a library. However, the problem then is that it is very difficult to stop reading/researching/being on the computer. It drains you.
Hi Devid!!
ReplyDeleteI think Didital library is very useful,but I would not like to do the digitalization of the library.It is difficult to make a choice information,because it has many infomation,and I like the atmosphere of REAL library.
I like libraries. I like Library's smeell and sound. So I think the digital library is so awful. To watch something in screen isn't good in library. I dislike this trend.
ReplyDeletei don´t like this thing because is boring read a book in a computer, it´s not the same if you read book.
ReplyDeleteI don´t like digital libraries
