It would be great to have laptops available for students to use especially to take notes from books and journals rather than make copies. However, I think we need to keep reminding ourselves of a good point made in the article "Information found--and not found-- on the Web" by Kathryn L. Schwartz, located in the A+ Research Guide at Internet Public Library (www.ipl.org). "What's not on the web --at least for free-- are most of the comprehensive reference works you'd find in a library reference room and nonfiction collection. . . .The exceptions to this are some dictionaries, almanacs and other single-volume reference works" . . ."If you look at the list of what's not on the web, it covers about 90% of the contents of a college library's collection, both the refernece and the circulating collection. It's apparent that researchers still have to spend a good portion of their research time in the library rather than on the web."
