I just read an interesting report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Part of the report stated the obvious: Americans are turning to the web more and more to get answers to all of life's problems. After polling more than 2,790 adults, ages 18 and older, the report found that 58% of Americans that have dealt with issues surrounding things like health, taxes, school, etc. used the Internet to seek help. Pretty expected.
What I thought was actually pretty interesting was a description of Gen Y, those young Americans aged 18-30, and their habits.
It turns out that "Generation Y was most likely to use libraries to get problem-solving information and for general purposes. In their lives, libraries are not losing value. In fact, 40% of Generation Y respondents said they would use libraries in the future to seek information, compared with 20% of those age 30 and older."
