10 Reasons Why the Internet Is No Substitute for a Library

Abstract

Libraries, like any other institution, have a role and are naturally affected and interacted with information and communications technology. These libraries had to look forward to this modern technology and this role because we live in the information age and are contemporary with the Internet network, which dawned in the twentieth century... This " The Internet, which has powerfully invaded the international library community, and which librarians talked about to access information via computers, or what is known as “electronic libraries,” and libraries have recently been experiencing a truly dangerous problem and decline when higher education officials in the developed world say that the Internet has eliminated libraries, and in An attempt to preserve the culture and scientific history of information institutions shows ten reasons for “why the Internet does not represent an alternative to the library.” The first reason among them is that not everything is available on the Internet. For example, only 8% of periodicals are available on the Internet, and the Internet is like a library. It is large and unregulated, whether you use any of the search engines or engine engines, and there is no censorship on the Internet, so any idiot can put whatever he wants on the Internet. Also, the full-text sites, despite their huge size, are not always complete, and when anyone reads a book It is electronic through the web, so you cannot take it anywhere like a paper book. In addition, reading devices for electronic books must be available, which cause headaches and visual fatigue, and their cost is very high. When the newest university in California was built without a library, it was unable to continue because it did not You find everything you need on the Internet, and the cost of having everything in digital form requires an unreasonably high cost that cannot be imagined. We have been reading for a thousand years until reading has become in our blood, and humans will always want to move with a good book and not a laptop. Finally, we note that the Web is great, but it is a powerless substitute for fulfilling all the library services provided by traditional libraries, and that it is crazy to make it more than just a tool that helps adapt the use of technology as easily and quickly as possible.
