Two of the scariest words to a teenage student 20 years ago were “research” and “paper.” Even now, the words conjure up in my mind stacks of encyclopedias, piles of dimes for copies, and lots of time with the microfilm machine. Before “Googling” became a verb (I Googled it and found it in the Merriam-Webster dictionary), students did most of their research in libraries. Today’s students can answer their pressing life questions quickly and easily without ever setting foot in one.
