Why library is called a multi-media center?

Answer 1

In the traditional sense, libraries provide access to print information. Since information is now available in a variety of formats, or media, libraries are sometimes referred to as library media centers. Digital information has transformed the look and feel of libraries of all types across the globe. Most include computer labs or wireless technologies for library patrons to search their online catalogs rather than the card catalogs our parents or grandparents utilized. Regardless of its name -- library, cybrary, media center -- access to free print and non-print (digital) information is the core of information services and programming. Whether you plan to download a digital eBook or browse the shelves and stacks, modern libraries are determined to provide those services to its patrons either directly (in-house) or remotely (online).
