Just today a graduate from the department of human nutrition and dietetics, which is my department, came to my room. She wanted to conclude her project topic in order to go further and do her hard binding, after which she would do her clearance from the university. She had corrections in her work but was very happy about her conclusion. Her happiness knew no bounds that her supervisor accepted her conclusions. She was telling me how she rejected the first one before the internal defense. In her words, I didn't know the kind of research she did for the work.
She told me she went to the Annex library in the university. Oh yes, she said, she went to gather her research. According to her, most works are there in which one can outsource information from the library. She told me she was really happy that finally her supervisor did accept the conclusion. I asked if there were project works there, and she told me yes, that people's various work was there. You can research and get the information you need to work with. She told me that even if you need a project topic, you would still see it there, as there are various project topics in which one can work. It was really an amazing thing to have the knowledge of it and how it is functional and helpful in the university.
Of course libraries are very much still needed by us all to help us in our school activities and also our reading activities. Oh, people might say online is better, but there are limitations in online in which there might be issues like lights issues and lack of data or network issues, which might be a limiting factor towards our outsourcing information, which is needed. Inasmuch as the world is going digital, we still need to have a place in which we can go to at any point in time to get that which we need.
Like the graduate who got that, which was needed from the library, being that there were not many projects that might not be too good. Not everyone really publishes their project work after working on it. As they didn't publish it, there is no way in which she would have gone to their house to get their work to use for what she actually wanted to use it for.
Things are changing and being replaced, but not all things should really be scrapped off because they are very important. Education is power, and when we are not informed about one thing, it is not good. Scrapping it out might really make it not too good in the education sector in which we are in.
Libraries in the Digital Age are Essential This keeps it focused and engaging while aligning with the libraries.
No matter the digital experience, it is still of great importance to us all.
We keep hoping for the best. 🙏
