Your friend and classmate, Nick, told you, "There is really no point in going to the library. I can get everything I need off the Internet." Would you agree or disagree with Nick? Justify your answer with detailed reasoning from your textbook

What will be an ideal response?


The best answers will:
1. disagree (vehemently) with Nick. No acceptable answers will agree with Nick, though students may acceptably reference that one can use the library's website and online databases to great effect.
2. cite the many benefits of library research, drawing heavily on the content in Learning Objective 6.5.
3. reference Learning Objective 6.4 to explain that, if Nick relies solely on the Internet for research, he is going to run into problems during the research process and will end up with a lower-quality final speech.
Learning Objective: 6.4 Find quality information on the Internet more efficiently and productively, and Learning Objective: 6.5 Utilize the library for obtaining materials and assistance.
