Library services in the Digital Age: new research reports from Pew Internet Project

摘要

Libraries are key technology hubs in their communities, and free access to technology at libraries now rivals books and reference help as a key library service: 1. 80 percent of Americans ages 16 and older say borrowing books is a "very important" service libraries provide. 80 percent say reference librarians are a "very important" service of libraries. 2. 77 percent say free access to computers and the internet is a "very important" service of libraries.
