I am looking for studies of degree of student use of high
school libraries. As the use of the internet increases
exponentially, it seems the use of - and therefore need
for - library *books* should be decreasing dramatically.
In my own experience at a serious private high school, I
was delighted if my students read and disgested the course
text in preparation for close examination of it the next
class day; and considering the mountain of homework
assigned regularly by teachers of other subjects, I did
not think students had *time* to make leisurely use of a
library for any subject.
I would very much like to see some discussion on this
subject.
A short course in library research, focusing on a few
texts and the internet, might well be in order, but the
expense of a full library for high school seems
unwarranted.
