Do Libraries Become Useless at the Age of Information?

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.

图书馆在信息时代无用了吗? 大学英语四级词汇表

关于信息时代的图书馆人们有热烈的讨论。有些人，尤其是年轻人，质疑传统图书馆的价值。当他们在学习或工作中需要任何信息时，他们会寻求电脑的帮助。因此他们不需要去图书馆借还一两本书。

但其他人，包括老年人和学者们，重视图书馆的存在价值。他们热爱图书馆因为他们可以在独立的精神世界里享受平静，而且他们可以在图书馆里找到自己在学术研究上需要的珍贵资料。

在我看来，传统图书馆依然有价值，虽然存在着不少提升空间。在信息时代里，只要只是被尊敬被珍视，图书馆就不会消失。另一方面，图书馆也不能拒绝最新的信息科技，这会让他们重新获得年轻读者们的青睐。
