Earlier, students could only scan libraries to research for their essays and reports. However, living in the age of the internet has made accessing information easier than ever. The internet as a source of information has enabled many students, researchers, professionals, and even teachers to effectively and quickly improve their work. But it is not the best source of research.
People can write whatever they think or feel about a subject and publish it on the internet, which can be biased, inaccurate, and even insensitive. Libraries, on the other hand, only house selective and original resource materials that have been thoroughly researched and reviewed before being published.
A major problem with the internet is that the information is uncatalogued and saturated with a lot more information than what is needed. For instance, a search engine will provide an ample amount of recent content regardless of how useful. Libraries have not only a proper classifying system to organize all the information but also a person to sort and filter that information.
Still, many people argue that libraries are not ideal for research because they do not work around the clock, but the originality and many benefits of libraries are undeniable. Therefore, the internet, despite being an essential tool for modern life, should not be the only source of research for students to explore.
