Topic: Library ? Or Internet ? - page 5. (Read 894 times)
I prefer the internet over libraries, but I still really love visiting libraries. Libraries are much more organized, but also much of the information is a bit out of date. The internet can be harder to find reliable information consistently.
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 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.
I prefer to choose the internet because on the internet I can access what I want to know more quickly. besides that on the internet there is also a digital library that has many digital books that we can read at any time. more fun isn't it?

Both avenues are helpful in getting information but the internet is more convenient and easily available to everyone. But in terms of reliability, I think books are more reliable than the sources on the internet because they have been reviewed before publishing. There are also a lot of false information posted on the internet and are misleading so you have to check if its coming from a legit source.
We know very clearly that the Internet is faster and more convenient, and its advantages over the library 。Internet are more obvious. Untrue information exists in libraries and the Internet.
Of course, I choose the Internet. Even in the library, it is difficult to guarantee that the information you see is true. In addition, the Internet can help you find what you want more quickly.

For me I prepared the library and the internet because I know Library has the most reliable information, I know the internet has that too but it is more likely a 50/50 for me? why we all know the internet has the main source and second source plus humans can fake everything in the internet. You can get scams and you can get the wrong information.
And that made my the problem when it comes to my trust issue.
Morelikly we all know today COVID 19 some country has not full access on the outdoor so our realible source is the internet as the safest way so commonly we need to be careful on and be sure on what we search. Like google library is said to be a reliable source when it comes to book and thesis.
The internet is more information and full of resources that are that include also library that are needed for book references and reading. The internet is versatile and can not be compared to library that is just a face of the internet from the numerous faces that can be found on the internet. Reading, researching, testing, proposing and many more can be found on the internet.
hard copy, so that the msn and social media enemies of mankind can't erase it with one click...
Being caught with a copy of The Protocols was grounds for summary execution after the Bolsheviks took over Russia. Yes, keep hard copies of things, but with some care...and not on magnetic media.
Certain subjects have a long history of censorship using methods of extreme prejudice. Most people somehow know what these topic are without being told.

Libraries remind me that we could find information from very good sources.
We could do the research with various literary references. But with the invention of the internet, the way to access information is very fast and accurate.
Now we stay informed in real time as the events are happening.
But we must be careful to choose reliable information and not access false news or not very credible content.
Of course, accessing information from the internet has surpassed libraries, in fact virtual libraries and electronic books have been created.

How about get the best of both worlds and just download the books and store them in a hard drive? That's what I do. I scroll through Sanet and then just get whatever book seems interesting. I've already got more than I can read. And also you're doing your part by keeping a copy of that book.
And Then They Came for the Books...

We really are in the 'new dark ages' or at least heading that way fast. For real!

Yeah, I decided not to write anymore, but I was going to project/hope for a situation where people maintain 'private libraries' of digital material and submit indexes of it to more specialized/targetted engines (or chains or whatever.) Was not aware of Sanet (and am still not sure that I am in a 20 second scan of things which match that string.)
What do you consider reliable though? It's also possible to bullshit via physical books. Or books in general since it has become easier to self-publish now.
I do recognize that is also much easy to do that with webpages. I believe there have been cases where several institutions change content, only to be caught by people opening the page through the Wayback Machine.

Seriously, I never liked libraries much or used them much. I was in hog heaven when the internet of the mid 90's came along and the search engine wars were underway and competition was fierce. The technology was not advanced enough to 'curate' content, and I was able to find vast amounts of interesting and valuable stuff.
Over the last decade the usefulness of the internet has gone down, down, down in terms of finding real information. It's almost not worth the bother any more to use search engines. Google is, of course, a joke. Pages and pages of promoted garbage supporting 'the narrative' before you find anything useful at all. People say 'use duckduckgo. Honestly, it isn't much better. I'm suspicious that they've been bought by one of the big players by now, or have a 'technology transfer' agreements and quite possibly share infrastructure. At the very least it is clear that whoever is running duckduckgo has their own self-imposed mandate to keep users in normie-land and have no qualms about doing it algorithmically.

The internet is where you can find better information although you can really stray to fictional details, those are trivial if you intend to make jokes when you discuss the information you got to fellow listeners of yours. The only information that you won't get accurate details is the history of countries but if you look for how-to's I guess there are plenty of them.
The last time I was in the library was when I was in high school punished for smoking cigarettes at the back of the Chem lab. They let me search how dangerous it could be if I throw my cig butt near the chemicals. I didn't see that information actually.

At a time when printing and publishing books was not as advanced as it is today, past and present authors helped the general public to acquire knowledge by keeping thousands of important books on a large number of subjects and literary works in the library. Students have borrowed books from this library and even got important sections to photocopy for their exams but there is no need to go to the library as everything is getting through the internet effortlessly the internet has made everything easier.
When it comes to reliable source of information, the library has got that but, its limited to what is displayed. Nor like I've encountered in real life but, certain parts and libraries are out of restrictions to normal citizens nor would you be aware of its existence and so does the truth that you seek to find. Like, if you try to access certain books in the library of the Vaticans.
The internet on the other hand is a free to air, a free to discover and a sea of numerous sources to an information. Yeah, it's got or creates rooms for piracy, misconcepts and neutralised truth but, it depends again on where you look. In a field where its about the "clicks", a lot could be done to archive that so, where you look becomes of the most important. I would go with the internet everyday because, it could be easily referenced at most.

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.
It's just going to take time but soon it will be there.
Consulting a book in a library is not complicated at all.
Information on the Internet is not spontaneous, it requires people to create these sources of consultations, individual works, theses and an extensive etcetera that had its origin in the traditional book. All those who do relevant work and take it to the Internet are appreciated.
Friend, the source is the one that commands and the main source of scientific consultation for example in a certain subject is not necessarily on the Internet. Books, no matter where they are, are not necessarily found in a library, universities, bookstores, museums, and some are private.
Reliable information is found in the veracity of the source, so the important thing is to have that confidence.

depends on what information? if it's formal education, maybe the library can cover many things and many sources and educational books in the library have clear sources and references if needed. but online is also equally useful because it makes it easy to find the information we want through keywords. just like if someone wants to make a thesis or research . no way only look up at internet. definitely needed educational books related to what was needed. so its depend what kind information .
