I can say that the both are equally important, getting information and gaining knowledge.
The internet, getting information is very easy but not all information gotten from the internet is actually classified,compared to the physical information..
While using the internet, we as well use the library to confirm and go deep in what we are exploring.
I say the both are important and adviceable to use the both while working on something.

You finally came to full agreement about making good use of them both.
Information gotten from library are acquired, processed, classified, catalogue,and kept in other for retrieval and dissemination of information.
Like I'll always say,most information gotten from the internet are not properly organized.

The library is a very important part of the society and we can't afford to miss it , also is the internet that is a very crucial part we can't do without. The internet, which I think is far better than the library. In the internet, we can get library making it more superb than the physical library we have in our society.

Hail Eris!

I grew up in a Library after school. I met people that way. Wouldn't have it the other way.
The library also had the internet. Libraries themselves are great for established knowledge, it takes awhile for them to buy new books (even ebooks) thus not great for anything new.
But then again they always have the internet so not really an issue.

Both (or "any") systems are what you make of them. You can waste your whole life in a library, or you can gain enormous amounts of knowledge.
Same (at the n^th power) with the Internet.
I have loved to read, and always been curious to the extreme, since a very early age. However, today I own a grand total of "1" book. That is, on paper. In my computer I have over 100, plus some 5000 videos from more than a dozen different courses, plus hundreds of other video tutorials on a whole lot of different topics.
Internet gives you access to an ungodly amount of data, and you don't need to spend hours eating dust to get it.
That said, they're just two different methods to get to the same goal.
Personally, I love books, and it took a long time for me to get used to reading from a computer screen, but, in reality, I don't have the room, nor the money, to get the books I'd like to get.
Not to mention that Internet gives you access to information published anywhere in the world, in any language, something that'd be very difficult (and/or expensive) to get on paper.

Well, if the information/news is urgent for me to collect, definitely it would be the internet, a quick search will give me the info I want rather than going to a physical library with locomotion with vehicles and pay for fuel, library charges etc then going through pages after pages of books to find any information, rather library is if one wants to reduce their passing of time on stuffs like movies or unproductive works, then just hop into a library and read, it helps in so many ways, focusing, a better time passing alternative, plus improvement of IQ

Both are equally reliable and important. We cannot neglect the importance of either one.
We can't undervalue the importance of the old against new technology.
Though it's easy to search the information over the internet rather than to visit the library and physically search for your required information.
Yet all the information on the internet cannot be classified as accurate or real information.
In my opinion, both are important and one cannot completely replace the other and vice versa.

You have said well mate,two heads are better than one mum will always tell me this,the strong can link with the strong to become stronger.
The library is essential mostly in all ramifications also the internet.
So please to see this write up from you.

Where do you think is best to get reliable information ?
Most people feel reluctant to spend time in the library and maybe not user friendly to them, although vital information can be gotten there.

The internet makes access to information easy. I see the internet as a huge conglomerate of unrestricted and uncontrolled information. Hence for the fact that is is uncontrolled and information can easily be provided/obtained from anyone qualified or unqualified, information gotten must be verified as it is not completely reliable.

Reliable information can be obtained from the library owing that they are hard copies of information or research that has gone through proper analysis before publishing, however this information may be outdated and not applicable to some present day situations. The information there are reliable for reference purposes.

Google,the internet, and all the rest too many to mention can give you thousands of answers when you ask a question.
But it's without doubt that,the librarian will give you the correct answer.
Hope a lot gets to see the light about library and librarian's.

For me Library is the best choice because I need some good rest of mind which is available in Library only too much Internet is really creating problems which need to avoid for some time and giving rest to mind is also very good. In early age I was really love to have some good time in Library but now having very small-time just because of some good hassle in life, but this Covid-19 give some good chance for having good old memories but now again going to miss this with Internet and google for having quick settlements.

How about spending time in the library and still able to access in the internet? this what I've done if there's no resource that I can find with the books that I've been researching when I was still at school. There's really no need to choose about reliable information as the same as books before, it's written by the victors and the same as in the internet. But this time, there's more information that we can find using the internet.

Both avenues are actually good in enriching your knowledge. The internet just make it very convenient for us. But there are still some knowledge or hidden gem that you can only find in libraries. We are just lucky that these days, we can have both sources but I guess, this younger gen is more on internet rather than visiting libraries.

I agree. There is information that is only kept in the books but it's just a matter of time until most of the knowledge that has been kept there will also be translated and migrated to the web.
It's just going to take time but soon it will be there.

How soon ? It's taking longer than expected for those information to be transferred.
My thoughts though,I love the internet,but I'll merge them both together when searching for knowledge.

The internet on the other side is fast,can be accessed at the same time by too many people, although hoarding of information is high up here,as well information given out may not be true.
I'd like to know more from your own perspective.

Don't you think the internet is responsible for the existence of the library. Most of the books in the library are written through the search of knowledge from different site of the internet. So you think about it internet is where reliable information. Now most institution and organisation prefer to have E-library which have access to Internet.

I would say, the intenet. Well, just because it is easily accessible and not limited by time and distance which is the best thing about it in my opinion. Providing that you have great self discipline and not easily distracted by the wide variety of things that may distract you when reading about any information online. Also, if you know what to look for and what sources are giving out the best information that you need. But still, feeling every page in your fingers and the smell of books is something that I, myself cannot abandon. Anyway, that's just me, just go for the internet.

That's is if one is truly discipline to that extent, some don't even know how to surf the internet in search of the information they want.
Hahahaha, you just cracked my ribs reading you're one of the book worms out there huh!?
That's good to know @ Op
I'd rather link the both information I get,than relying on one source which might be vital and not be true.

I think the internet is easier because you can search for something easily but uniquely for the library you can read something that is not on the internet, sometimes there are readings that are not available on the internet because of copyright issues Shocked

. but in the library you can read books that have content that is not on the internet Huh

.

so in conclusion you can seek knowledge about something complex that usually only exists in libraries and cannot be found on the internet due to copyright issues. but if you want to read something uncomplicated you can search the internet Cheesy

.

I don't really agree with you that Library is better than internet because,the library is limited to few informations and messages,that is to say it's not broad.
While the internet covers a large area of understanding that can make even the dumbest person to know what is encoded,because it carries pictures that can be easily identifiable.
The internet carries several informations from different authorities.

He did not say that the library is better than the internet, he is only trying to say that their are some books in the library which you can't find in the internet due to copyright which is true. There some old books I have come across in my which contains good content severally I try to check if I could still get it in the internet but I'm unable to find it out.

Everyone seems to be with the internet,yeah the internet is good at one side and the library also, I won't want to choose one for one, I'll rather go with the both of them as vital sources of getting information.
The world is evolving, moving gradually to another level, and the internet seems efficient why won't majority want the internet ??

It make sense to compared it that way, The other downside of using Internet aside from what you mention above was there's a lot of distraction that can affect to a user research such as social media, games and videos unlike library that user can focus on there goal without any distraction.

Students nowadays can't focus anymore on studies online especially on this Pandemic because they are addicted on social media which will not happened if they are studying in physical learning area such as library or school.

You can say all of this again, this generation becoming so reluctant to read, they see spending time with books in the library as a total waist....not knowing most important if not all are not well organized in the internet but very well in the library.

While trying to utilize the internet, distractions will sure come@Op you've already made mention of them video games, social media sites, although the internet makes life very easy for a whole lot to access the E-library at anytime.
Few ways user or researchers can be affected in the library is a result of distractions from another user, of which I know the library is doiy a great job to keep the library a quiet place for every user.
Not attending to a user within fifteen minutes can make him paranoid,feels like a total waist of time visiting the library.
So, all I'm saying is that the internet is good as well the library but the library has been regarded low level by too many people.

For me, the internet is number one in searching for information, because the databases are fed with a lot of different information and it is simply available at any time.

But also the library should not be underestimated. It happened to me that I was looking for some distant relative who was mentioned in a book by a local writer, believe me I couldn't find it on the internet.It is a small local library in a small village that is not an online library, just shelves with countless books.

So for me it means both are needed.

The library is actually under-estimated no doubts no much argument, eighty percent of people in the world prefers internet to the library, not realizing that the both can be very essential for vital information, the internet can be very fast,easy to access.
Library also but services in the library can be delayed if high quality professionals are not there to attend to users.
