Libraries remain relevant, says new study

For help with a variety of common problems, more people turn to the Internet than consult experts or family members to provide information and resources, according to Information Searches That Solve Problems, a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

A second key finding from the survey is that members of the tech-loving Generation Y (age 18-30) are the leading users of libraries for help solving problems and in more general patronage. Libraries drew visits by more than half of Americans (53%) in the past year for all kinds of purposes.
