As students have easy access to online information these days, libraries are no longer needed. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The availability of the Internet and its convenient accessibility to online information allow today’s students obtain whatever information they want. Such phenomenon has led to a saying that libraries are not required anymore. However, in my opinion, library has its place in students’ life by providing a supportive environment as well as greater facilities other than information.
On one hand, libraries have been existing in our life for centuries where students enjoy and concentrate on studies under quiet environment. Unlike solely obtaining online information at home where students might encounter nuisance or disturbance, the existence of libraries give them a quiet and calming environment. Besides, many students also prefer to work on their assignments in library due to its environment. It is therefore possible for these students to achieve better academic performances rather than just relying on information from the Internet.
On the other hand, there are more facilities available in libraries other than providing information to students. It is a place for them to gather and exchange ideas and opinions with peers. Take discussion room as an illustration, many students in universities chose to discuss group assignments and projects in discussion rooms that not just allow them to exchange ideas, but also gaining online information instantly from computers and the Internet provided. This is a method which helps students to improve their knowledge and skills effectively.
In conclusion, libraries cannot be replaced by online information as it serves more than just a piece of information. It is a place that affects one’s skills and academic performance through its supportive environment and amenities.
