I have a real life facepalm story for you.

I was at the library (NYPL) with my friend and was explaining how I loved the information and references I was finding.

He just says "I dont't see the big deal here. I mean you can find everything on the Internet."

I didn't know what to say at first...jesus christ. I don't think I've ever heard anything as ignorant as that before.

Actually I don't know about you but my uni has millions of dollars worth of subscriptions to various journal article databases which are easier to search and use than the library with a much broader range of content. I only go to the library for a journal article if it's not available online and I think it might be better than any of the resources online.

We also have access to several databases that publish every single news paper article from most major newspapers every day. And apart from that, you don't always need to use peer-reviewed sources as sometimes there just isn't any material and you are left with no choice but to reference people who just have an opinion that backs you up.

>> No.1209152

>>1209127
Actually I find it quite hilarious you're calling me an idiot. I'm 20 by the way.

Anyway to elaborate on the story, my friend, who is 23, said that he has never written a research paper since high school. It was the first time he was at the NYPL. After I showed him around, he was actually impressed at all this information available.

Facepalm again.

>>1209133
Exactly. I find it quite puzzling that people around my age rage about the superiority of the Internet over the library for research material. Sure, if you want to learn info quickly about mechanics or any general or semi-obscure information, it's a great material.

But if you want to get into the specifics, want scholarly material, and want to be taken seriously, you need to go to the library. There's a challenge in breaking down the information for yourself rather than having someone over the Internet condense the information for you.

This thread is full of so much fail.

Not everything is available on the Internet and if it is, it can be found in a decent library. And most of the time scholarly articles are just scanned from the physical material. The only problem with this it that often you need to be attending a certain college or buy a prescription. Wait, if my taxes are already used to fund libraries, why the fuck would I want to pay more when I can easily just go...to the library?

No reputable author/publisher are going to exclusively publish material that is only available through Internet database. It's going to be printed out and distributed, and perhaps, TRANSFERRED as a digital copy.

>> No.1209199

>>1209187
a) I was trying to say that there is no difference between libraries and the internet as separate information sources since they mix more and more.

b) have you looked through your unis subscription list for closed access scientific journals? Thats mountains of journals, they can't afford to have all these journals in print, they usually have only stuff from the Nature group and Science in print.

>> No.1209206

>>1209199
Actually I would consider databases that require a login part of the university library's collection solely because it's exclusive. It's not available to the public. If you're at a poor community college and need information, you can't just "use the Internet."

And true, everything is mixing together now (digital vs hard copy), so using that logic, the idea that "everything can be found on the Internet" is contradictory because you can also find the same information at the library.

That statement makes it clear that you "rage about the superiority" as in >>1209152.

You're still an idiot. Anything you can find in a library can be found online. When you work full time and go to school full time, the last thing you want to do is spend time traveling to a library and then search for the information. There are innumerable resources online.

>>1209207

The consensus is in, OP is an idiot. Now I _will_ make a value judgment: if I can find equal and better resources in the comfort of my house, instead of leaving for a library, I will--as will every realistic person on the planet. You're just a fucking romantic if you are set on being in a library. You probably pay all your bills at the bank, and refuse direct deposit from your employer in lieu of cheques.

Lol, Christ guys I should have been more clear in the beginning.

I was just excited finding images from the pictorial collection. I was looking up Burman, Thai, Mocorran, and Islamic motifs, textiles, costumes, etc. I'm a huge design fan, so in my excitement I show him what I found.

Then he just said "I don't see the big deal here. I mean you can find everything on the Internet" while giving me a weird look. I just didn't know what to say at first because I don't understand why you would brush off the library for research, which is why I found his statement so ignorant. The fact that he hasn't used the library since high school and hasn't written a research paper yet only adds to this blanketed statement.

True, there are tons of publications available online. I didn't think of that when I wrote it. Apologizes. When I meant Internet resources, I mean from unscholarly sites (ie I like costumes so let me have a small domain about it) It was just obvious to me that he was clearly dismissing the library as legitimate resource.

Calm down guys....

Either, like me, they argue by default because some idiot like you won't stop talking back to them when it isn't indicated, or - like most people - they're arguing to defend a sense of themselves as good debaters. But most people work to attain such a status because they're afraid of people laughing at them. I simply make the onlookers laugh at them, and they give up in humilated shame.

Yep, and took it over. Now, there's no way I could have done that unless there were several people who wanted to go 'nuh-huh, YOU'RE the dummy' because they felt threatened enough by what I was saying that they had to say something. It should also be noted that if you think 'everyone who's not a genius like myself can eat my ass' is worth responding to, you are NOT a genius.

No you aren't. You got called out immediately with your pathetic attempt at trolling. Why don't you just go take a Literature 101 class so you can learn how to...analyze text, moron.

You think you planned everything but I came in and actually started everything with a strategic reply. I left and let the wheel spin on its own while you wasted your pathetic time replying to every single post. I actually did something while you just raged by your lonesome.
