Virtual or Cyber library VS Physical Library
The library and information environments have changed substantially during the past ten years. ...
Libraries can exist in two different spaces, a physical space and a virtual space. ... Many libraries exist only in only one space, while others maintain a hybrid space, both a physical and virtual space, in recognition of the distinct information uses and learning activities that can occur within each environment. All libraries, whether virtual and physical, create an environment for learning (Abram, 1999).
Learning in Virtual and Physical Libraries
Marchionini and Maurer (1995b) saw libraries serving three roles in learning:
· They are places to share expensive information resources
· They preserve artifacts and ideas
· They serve social and intellectual roles of bringing people and ideas together
Both virtual and physical libraries can fulfill these roles.
Libraries, both physical and virtual, support various types of learning:
· Formal learning
· Informal learning
· Professional learning (Marchionini & Maurer, 1995b)
Definition Of Virtual Library
Virtual Library are organized collections of digital information. ... Virtual libraries can offer resources from many sources, and in many formats, including audio and video. The items in these virtual collections do not have to reside on one server, but they share a common interface to assist the user in accessing the collection.
