For librarians: Is print dead?
I'm not a librarian, but this is an interesting question. Yes, it does seem as though electronic resources are taking the place of books. However, I don't think written works will every be obsolete.
There is just "something" about actually reading off a piece of paper that is different than reading off your computer screen.
This is true if and only if you love to read. I love reading more than or as much as some people love food, sports and of course the number one of all times..... you know what that is. Electronic media is great when you are pressed for time.
As someone who works in a library, I'm well aware of how busy we are on a daily basis, which is a lot busier than people think. And while electronic media is taking over, I've noticed that it doesn't have the same credibility as print media yet. For example, you could look up information for a school project online and come up with some really great stuff, but teachers aren't as impressed (nor is the information as valid) as when someone uses print sources.
The same is true of e-readers because any nobody can publish an e-book, but it takes actual hard work to get something into print. So, at least for me, there is a stigma of un-professionalism with electronic information. I feel like, by using print, I'm getting a higher quality, more accurate product.
Whether or not electronic information can ever acquire this remains to be seen.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
