Libraries

• Computers and the Internet can now greatly enhance a library visit:
  1. Bring laptop with all my files.
  2. Bring PDA with all my files on SD card.
  3. PDA / laptop on mobile phone network / Wi-Fi.
  4. Library has plug for PDA / laptop.
  5. Library provides you with computer at desk.

• There still remains though the age-old problem that the library you want is far away, and it may be years before your next visit. Again, Computers and the Internet could help:
  1. Ultimately, libraries publish everything on the Web, so we can research at home.
