Die Bibliothek als Bibliothek nutzen

The Atlantic stellt im Artikel “College Students Just Want Normal Libraries” fest, dass die traditionellen Angebote von Bibliotheken wie z.B. ein ruhiger Platz zum Studieren am gefragtesten sind:

“Survey data and experts suggest that students generally appreciate libraries most for their simple, traditional offerings: a quiet place to study or collaborate on a group project, the ability to print research papers, and access to books. Notably, many students say they like relying on librarians to help them track down hard-to-find texts or navigate scholarly journal databases. “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers,” as the writer Neil Gaiman once said. “A librarian can bring you back the right one.” (…)

So-called digital natives still crave opportunities to use libraries as libraries, and many actively seek out physical texts—92 percent of the college students surveyed in a 2015 study, for example, said they preferred paper books to electronic versions.”
