Doug Johnson wrote a wonderful piece for Knowledge Quest for his column
_Real Questions, Good Answers_ called "Why do we need Libraries when we
have the Internet?"

"Real Questions, Good Answers provides answers to those absolutely
right-on questions we repeatedly get from outside our profession.  The
editor invites readers to submit actual questions and write those
articulate answers needed for board members, principals, teachers and
others who question the role of the school library and media specialists.
