I like libraries...and bookstores

I like books. I enjoy surfing the internet for information, however, I cannot write in the margins. When I read, I want to annotate so that I can retrieve the info I read quickly. Plus, this is one of the best ways to remember what I read. If you want to remember what you read, simply make notes of the material. Is this highschoolish? No, it is making use of the way brains are setup.

Regardless, I love libraries, books, and bookstores. I can spend hours in bookstores, it is simply interesting. Count me as a Gen Yer that uses technology AND reads books, even at libraries and bookstores.

"It was truly surprising in this survey to find the youngest adults are the heaviest library users," Rainie said. "The notion has taken hold in our culture that these wired-up, heavily gadgeted young folks are swimming in a sea of information and don't need to go to places where information is."

Visit your local librarian. They have a degree called "information sciences." If they do not know an answer for your question, they will be haunted until they find out where to get the answer. Once again, find the right person to do the right job.
