I got really frustrated over the holiday while watching "I Robot"; a perfectly good movie that just had to slip in a line about libraries being made obsolete by the Internet.
Well, here's a PC World article that made it all better: http://tinyurl.com/yo4kyb
A new study shows Gen Y is coming to the library specifically for the computers. Actually, the largest group of adult visitors to libraries are in the 18-30 age group. That group tends to make heavy use of research databases, the Web catalog, and other online library resources like IM reference.
Maybe "I Robot" was wrong and there won't be a shortage of libraries (or an over-abundance of killer robots) in the future.
