Information seeking: the Internet vs bookstores vs the library
Finding information isn’t difficult. We can talk to friends, watch TV, listen to the radio, read the newspaper, etc. Not to disparage this easy information (or even the recreational aspects), but it is ephemeral. At some point, everyone needs to find information (or recreation) that’s nailed down, so to speak, in a form that can be consulted. Here’s one librarian’s view of when to look for more or less permanently preserved on the Internet, the bookstore (or for that matter, a record store, etc.), or the library. I’m not making any attempt to be comprehensive here. Let me know if you think I’ve left out something important. I can always edit!
