"Since everything is on the internet, I don't need books... right?"

Very inaccurate! I would actually suggest that you use a book unless it was more convenient for the student to look up books online. The advantage of having the real, physical book is that you have the whole text right in front of you. If it is yours, you can write notes in it whereas, a book on your screen, you most likely cannot include any note. Plus, people that do not have internet cannot always gain access to the resources that one needs whenever necessary and must do effective planning to be able to get them when needed. 

It’s hard to do any type of work when there are distractions present, which is why books are a better decision. With the internet being a plethora of unimaginable content, one can get distracted from the work they are doing. Beings tend to be very curious, resulting in wasted time surfing the internet instead of getting work done.

Plus, having access to full text is the best thing ever, to the student’s advantage. Sometime an article’s or a featured excerpt’s full text cannot be found. Having the whole thing with you already beats getting texts off the internet.

When finals come around, I know for a fact that students are going to look back at their book to review the content. Those notes/annotations that you made throughout the year will come in very handy! The book will always be there for you J

Let’s just all agree and get to know that the physical book that we can hold in front of us cannot be replaced by technology!

Librarians

Everyone has been to SOME library at least once in their lives. Everybody knows that the librarians check books out, put books back, inventory, etc. But librarians are also here to help the visitors with any questions/help needed. They are the secretaries of the library.

It would be really useful if librarians would be able to tutor students. Not full time, but part time. When students go to the library to study and no one is able to help, it would be up to the librarians to save the day. They would have to be a big brain of knowledge, but that's never a bad thing. Knowledge is very valuable and that would be the coolest thing for them to have, unlimited knowledge.

I imagine that librarians in the future will be robots, robots that will look like humans and have that unlimited knowledge I said earlier. They will have so much willingness to help others and be kind to the libraries visitors J The library might not even look like it does today, maybe it will be designed like a vending machine where you select the desired book and it will be given to you, no more searching! So the librarians will really be more helpers than the people behind the desk. They’re already helpful so many new devices and inventions will be installed into them. What if the computers became realistic and could talk to the students? It would provide advice for their searches, papers, or things to explore. With endless possibilities on how to “upgrade” a library, it will become the ultimate student resource!
