Stephen Abram stellt Überlegungen an zum Thema: „Most libraries are free to users and so is Google . . . so what is the difference?“
Libraries have:
- real, professionally trained staff that help
- a bias towards quality
- geographic proximity with communities
- alignment with learning or community goals
- hard copy and electronic resources
- a bias towards patron privavcy and confidentiality
- bridges across the economic and ability divide
- trust
Google has:
- more stuff
- a neat algorithm
- a unified brand
- a mobile strategy at the point of need
- only focuses on the big stuff
Hmmmmm…
