The Masses Are Flocking To Libraries


Everything miscellaneous helped show me why and how we organize items, data and almost everything we interact with only a daily basis. The organization of all this information began making me think, “Where will students be doing research in the decades to come?” As the internet and the digital age of information storage begins to play an even larger role in our lives, where will all the libraries go?

No. Don’t worry; your neighborhood library isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, as the research shows they are now, more popular than ever! These new learning environments are becoming a way for collaborative learning to take place in real time, with real people and not just over the internet. As in years past, the library was viewed as a quiet place for research and study. As the future is beginning to tell us, these places will now become more of a creative learning space for students to take learning on themselves, beyond the classroom. Take a look at the link below for a recent article I found.
