Anchorage Daily News | Internet no replacement for libraries: "The Internet needs a library. This simple statement seemingly contradicts the notion that the Internet has lessened our dependence upon the library. Some have even served the Internet up as an excuse for reducing public support of the library. The Internet, which has revolutionized the accessibility of information beyond our wildest dreams, has not diminished the need for libraries. The Internet may have changed the services a library must emphasize, but it has reaffirmed the library's role in our society."
