Vancouver Sun: Libraries – who needs them in the digital world?

By Stu McNish

August 5, 2016

Conversations That Matter features Scott Hargrove of the Fraser Valley Regional Library. He says that your digital device has opened up the entire world but you need to be careful about who’s information you trust.  The mishmash of knowledge that is force-fed to you by search engines can easily mislead you. It prevents you from getting to the ‘deep web’, the place where the really valuable information is waiting to be discovered. Getting there isn’t easy unless you know how and without a library card you probably can’t afford the price of admission. That’s where your library comes in and it is just the beginning of where libraries can take you.

This is episode 97 in a series with Stu McNish.
