Very true.
As for the dichotomy of libraries or computers, you are aware that for many rural communities the only computers with public access are the libraries?
When I saw how heavy libraries were pushing computers that’s when I first started to think that they could be done away with.
If all you are doing is teaching people how to use computers, then you aren’t much of a library anymore.
It’s much more than just “teaching computers.” PLUS...there is still the traditional librarian job to be done.
It is anticipated that Kindel-type readers will soon be issued to each student, and the library will still be the center of related logistics.
