To many the library primary use was for just checking out books and for some a quite place to go to get some unfinished homework done. Now that the world has entered a new era of Distance learning, and now the i-pod generation has taken over; and primarily everything is done now over the world wide net the library was almost obsolete. A library in Grandview Heights Ohio has decided to launch smart phone apps to keep up with the "i-pod generation" by doing so the library has reached out to those tech geeks and now they are able to download music and books from the libraries website. (just like the University Of Richmond's Boatwright Library has done)Just like the research in which I'm writing about,Distance education and the traditional classroom this ties in to the library keeping up with the new generation because now so much learning is taking place over the internet and like the libraries and classrooms we cannot forget if there were no such thing as the internet or an i pod there will still be a library and a classroom.
