New research coming out saying that patrons want more technology options in libraries- which we kind of already knew. And is understandable, as has been noted time and again in times of economic distress, people use the library more because they can't afford them on their own. Except instead of books, it's computer/internet access and ebooks.
At the bottom of the article it talks about conflicting messages- that a great amount of people still get print from their library.
So what should a library do? Get rid of print stacks to make room for more computer/technology hubs?
