There has been a heated discussion about libraries at the age of information among people. Some people, especially the younger generation, challenge the value of conventional libraries. When they need any information in their studies or work, they can turn to their computers for help. For this reason, they do not need to go to a library for borrowing or returning one or two books.
While others, including most old people as well as scholars, value libraries. They love libraries because they can enjoy peace and quietness in an isolated spiritual world. And they also have access to rare academic works needed for their studies in the libraries.
In my view, conventional libraries are still available though there is still much room for improving. At the Age of Information, as long as knowledge is respected and cherished, libraries won’t extinct from our lives. On the other hand, libraries should not refuse the latest information technology, which will enable them to regain those young readers.
在人們的信息時代圖書館有一個激烈的討論。有些人，特別是年輕一代，挑戰(zhàn)傳統(tǒng)圖書館的價值。當(dāng)他們在學(xué)習(xí)或工作中需要任何信息時，他們可以求助于他們的電腦。因為這個原因，他們不需要去圖書館借閱或歸還一本或兩本書。
而其他人，包括最老的人，以及學(xué)者，價值庫。他們喜歡圖書館，因為可以享受在一個孤立的精神世界和平和寧靜。他們還可以獲得在圖書館的研究所需要的稀有學(xué)術(shù)著作。
在我看來，傳統(tǒng)的圖書館仍然可以提供，但仍有許多改進(jìn)的空間。在信息時代，只要知識被尊重和珍惜，圖書館就不會從我們的生活中消失。另一方面，圖書館不應(yīng)該拒絕最新的信息技術(shù)，這將使他們能夠重新獲得那些年輕的讀者。
