The Internet Is Not the Library.

The author contends that the Internet is not a library, nor must it be mistaken for one, despite its proven utility and versatility. He argues that a library is a place where knowledge is organized based on established principles so that it becomes serviceable to its users, and the Internet is a tool that supports the library in providing such organization. The author also discusses the impact of the Internet on students, the drawbacks of using the Internet as an information resource and the role of librarians in providing information.
