I Must admit, it's very impressive that the world of today has progressed to this degree of technology. However, I do not agree that this Digital library is a good idea. Of course it is probably easier and faster, but that's not the point of research. Things aren't supposed to come to us so easily and this new library is making students lazy. Yes, it is what the world has come to and there is no stopping it now, but honestly, can't some things stay the same?
I don't know what these ebooks look like, and i haven't read from them, but i know that reading online isn't the best. After a while your eyes start hurting and you get distracted, especially since the internet offers such a wide range of websites and channels. I prefer to hold my book when i'm reading it, Flip through the pages and smell the smell of old parchment. It makes me feel accomplished when i finish a book, and when i'm online i can't keep myself concentrated and i skim most of the pages. Yes the world is more advanced and we all have to keep up, but we need to keep a few things before we reach the limit.
I agree with the second comment, about how badly this is. This new digital library isn't a library, it's an internet cafe. the whole point of a library is to have options between books, mags, interned, etc. I do not want to be come a zombie. It is difficult to research with books, but I'm talking about pleasure reading.
