The Globe & Mailonwhy a digital world needslibraries more than ever

The source of information you'reusing, the evaluation of that source,how you use it, how you respect it andcite it that's all what we callinformational literacy. Carole Moore,librarian, quoted by Ian Brown

You, on the other hand, have to

write a paper about the self in Hamlet.Try Googling that without the help of aprofessional librarian: 12.3 millionresults. Ian Brown

I think it's the idea of a library as aplace to think that inspires people. Andthe fact that there's a community ofother people there, also trying to think.

- Carol Moore, quoted by Ian Brown

The physical library is oftendismissed as replaceable, on thetheory that digitized material takes upless space than books, and can beaccessed from anywhere. That wouldbe possible, maybe, if the peopleaccessing the material were also

digital, and had no need for a humancommunity of thinkers. Ian Brown
