I think that the internet is a big replacement for libraries now. I know that teachers usually try to add a required physical book for reference for assignments though so that keeps library use up.

the net is a huge help. there a lot of free stuff one can use in teaching. its a quick way to update onself. i too like the net. but viruses do scare me a lot.

Yeah these days it is quite easy to search for all teh information on the web instead of going to a public library where you might not able to get that kind of info esp. latest news, articles, current affairs. I like to surf the net for all info it's fast, easy and quick to get relevant information.

Very difficult to say, I spend more time on the net now than with actual books, because I find the search feature easier on the net. With books you have to look through many index to find a particular article, or just read randomly. With the net I decide what I want, search and read specific articles only.

Oh I just love to be able to go in and check out all the books. I like being able to touch the books. I can't do that on the net.
