The public can still benefit from visiting libraries, even though these days access to the Internet can provide all kinds of information. To enhance the quality of research, it is better to make the most of both modern Web-based and traditional library resources. Establishing free libraries in each town makes sense since the use of a computer at home has its own weaknesses as well as its indisputable strengths. At this information age, the diversified advantages of using the Internet are only too obvious. Online resources can be obtained from all over the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week while a librarys publications cannot provide up-to-minute information the way Web sites can. The Internet gives users opportunities for two-way communication through Facebook, Twitter, E-mail, MSN, among other electronic devices. Some sites feature rare books, documents and special collections that traditionally have been only available in libraries. Almost at no cost and merely a few clicks away, the public can read newspapers, magazines, journals and encyclopedias, no matter when or where. Furthermore, the Internet offers a complete multimedia experience--texts, video, audio, hyperlinks and graphics, etc. all at once, but such advantages often cannot be expected from town libraries. On the other hand, money spent on public libraries is certainly worth it. To start with, knowledgeable librarians can be of practical help when it comes to offering professional advice about research on particular topics. A government-financed library is supposed to use universal cataloging systems that classify and organize all resources so that it is easier for a user to locate specific information without being led to non-productive research. Whereas most Web sites provide materials characteristic of current information, only a library well-funded by public money can house printed copies that date back many decades. In addition, computers in libraries also offer free Internet connection and other electronic resources, such as reference CD-ROMs. Now that anyone can create a Web site, reliability of information on the Internet is not guaranteed, and as such there are cases in which the Internet is no substitute for the library. Money being not the issue, the government ought to have the wisdom of establishing free libraries in each community despite the fact that people can use the Internet at home or elsewhere. For quality research, libraries and the Internet are complementing each other. Were information food for the hungry mind, one might as eat out sometimes as eat at home, and at this point nobody ever ask questions whether to have free restaurants in town.
尽管这些天访问互联网可以提供各种信息，公众仍然可以受益于访问图书馆。要提高研究的质量，最好是利用现代网络和传统图书馆的资源。每个城市建立自由图书馆是有意义的，因为在家里使用电脑有它自己的弱点，以及它的不争的优势。在这个信息时代，使用互联网的多样化的优势是非常明显的。在线资源可以从世界各地的24个小时，每周七天，而图书馆的出版物不能提供一分钟的信息网站的方式。互联网给了双向沟通通过facebook用户的机会，推特，电子邮件，MSN，其他电子设备之间。一些网站的功能，传统上的罕见的书籍，文件和特殊的馆藏，只有在图书馆。几乎没有成本，只是点击几下，公众可以读报纸，杂志，期刊和百科全书，无论何时何地。此外，互联网提供了一个完整的多媒体体验-文本，视频，音频，超链接和图形等，都在一次，但这种优势往往不能从镇图书馆。另一方面，公共图书馆的钱是值得的。首先，知识渊博的图书馆员可以在提供专业意见，特别是对特定主题的研究。一个政府资助的图书馆应该使用通用编目系统，分类和组织所有的资源，使它更容易为用户找到特定的信息，而不被导致非生产性的研究。而大多数网站提供的信息，目前的信息，只有一个图书馆以及由公共资金资助的图书馆可以打印的副本，该日期追溯了几十年的材料特性。此外，计算机在图书馆也提供免费的互联网连接和其他电子资源，如参考光盘。现在，任何人都可以创建一个网站，在互联网上的信息的可靠性是不保证，并作为这样的情况下，在互联网是不可替代的图书馆。钱不是问题，政府应该有智慧，建立自由图书馆在每个社区，尽管人们可以使用互联网在家或其他地方。对于质量研究，图书馆和互联网是相辅相成的。对于饥饿的人的食物，一个人可能在家吃，有时在家里吃饭，在这一点上，没有人问问题是否有自由的餐馆在城里。
