Why use a Library?


 


Why use a library?

Key Concepts:

1. Information can be viewed as a public good. There can even be a right to

some kinds of information in a democratic society.

2. Information can be viewed as a private good. Access to some kinds of information may be restricted.

Some kinds of information are commodities that are bought and sold in the marketplace.

3. Many Libraries, themselves a public good, provide access to both kinds of

information.

4. Libraries provide access to databases, which are often expensive.

5.  Academic Libraries serve faculty and students involved in academic research.   There is       an academic  style of writing and an academic documentation process.  In fact, this        
      academic process is how knowledge is considered to be constructed in our world.  

English 101 is a ground-level introduction to academic writing.
