Communication and information can now be easily access anywhere as long you have an internet connection. Internet connection in the library is now one of the primary reasons why people visit the library. Most users of the internet can also have a chance to check out books while they are in the library. In a study, one-third of the Americans use public libraries to go online. Faster internet connection and assistance from the library staff are the main reasons why they use the internet connection in the library rather than their computers at home. Though there are still many individual who don’t have computers in their homes. Most of the time, people go online to look for jobs, talk to their relatives, check their e-mail and research. The increasing need of the public for internet connection has led the librarians in Lebanon Public Library to conduct computer training for those who are not internet literate. Indeed, Internet connection in the library has helped many users to improve their quality of life.
Three things I learned:
1. 1. Accessibility of internet connection in the library is another way of helping the user not just to look for information but also to improve their lives.
2. 2. The need of advance technology in library is a must.
3. 3. Public libraries has a major role in the lives of the people in the community, whether it is in information research or simply giving assistance to user in need.
Application:
Most of our students in the Bible school came from provinces where there is no internet connection available. Some of them do not even know how to use one. As a librarian, I believe by helping them how to use and maximize the internet connection in the library could help them in their research and to assist them to explore more possibilities in improving their lives.
