What are theAdvantages and disadvantages of atraditional library and a digital library?

Answer 1

Well, honey, a traditional library offers that nostalgic smell of old books and human interaction, but let's be real, it's a pain in the butt to find what you need sometimes. On the other hand, digital libraries give you instant access and convenience, but you better pray your Wi-Fi doesn't decide to take a coffee break. So, pick your poison, darling.

Answer 2

Modern day public libraries in Britain are linked on a nation wide computer network. A library in Cardiff, Wales can discover that a rare special book a customer wants is available in Sheffield, England, and can order it. Go to your local library and the librarian can, on using your library number from your plastic card, see all the books you have taken out, and those books you have still to return. Unlike the old card system that was isolated to that one library, any changes to the computer is instantly updated on the whole system.

Digital Libraries have a number of advantages:

• They can be accessed from pretty much anywhere, so long as you have a computer and internet access.
• They allow for quick access to a vast amount of information. With the exception of some types of ebooks, you don't need to put anything on hold or otherwise wait to access an information resource.
• They allow for access 24/7.
• They can hold more information than physical libraries because they aren't limited to a physical space.
• They can potentially be less expensive to run and maintain compared to physical libraries.
• Multiple users can often (though not always) use the same item/resource at the same time.
• Information can be more up-to-date - there isn't as long a delay for new information because there's no need to wait for something to be written, edited, published, printed, distributed, purchased, shipped, delivered, catalogued, processed, and then shelved.
• Original copies of items that are rare and/or valuable (such as an original copy of the Gutenberg Bible, published in 1454/55) can be viewed in a digital format without threatening the condition of the original.
