With the introduction of computers to the modern world, books,
the traditional medium, are more and more challenged. Libraries often fa
ce the dilemma of investing on computers or books. With all aspects carefull
y considered,an investment on computers would be a better choice.
When equipped with computers, a library may run more efficiently than ev
er. Students or faculties may get useful information as fast as the computer
can. A student may find it easier to type in only a key word and get the de
sired results,which, if done with books, may well need a long time scanning
among many related books; A researcher may feel it more convenient to find a
n article on those Engineering CD series than in a paper book. With the deve
lopment of computer technology, such as the increasement of CPU rate, memory
, or cache on the mainbord, the efficiency of getting information can only b
e accelerated, whereas a man's reading speed is normally limited to some ext
ent.
The efficiency of getting information is the users' major concern. While
for the librarians, what they care most is how to store as much as possible
information within limited space.
A computer has a large storage capacity. When a book with 750,000Chinese
characters is stored as electronic text, it only take about 1M bytes on the
hard disk. When stored on a normal CD with 640MB capacity, when these CDs a
re packed in locks, much precious space will be spared for other uses.
Unlike a book, a mortal physical medium, a computer may keep all data on
its disk safe and sound for a long time. It is very easy for us to copy, ba
ckup, or transfer those data to rewritable CDs or other recording materials.
The last but not the least. Internet may provide these computers with mo
re capabilities of future information exchanges.
Books, certainly, have their own merits. As a traditional medium, people
have reasons for cherishing them. They are easy to carry, conveniently read
without consumption of any other type of energy. However, for a modern libr
ary, computers, presenting so many merits and possibilities, can be more rea
sonably treated as a wiser choice.
