Digital Libraries

Electronic publishing has created new quality of source information called ( electronic information ) which is considered an alternative for traditional sources.

Advantages of electronic information sources:

1. The speed of retrieval of information.

2 – accuracy in retrieval.

3 – Provide the effort both in the procedures of dealing with information and sources, or at the level of information retrieval.

4 – the possibility of storing a large amount of information.

5 – Multiple options for retrieval, and the possibility of linking the terms.

E-online resources:

Are sources of information that can be obtained through remote networks. Direct search is a “retrieval system that can be searched immediately in an interactive or interactive manner between the system and the beneficiary.” This system consists of computers, peripherals, and adapters connected to each other by local networks. (Especially in developed countries), which allow libraries, information centres, scientific, cultural, commercial and media organizations to access electronic sources of information via remote networks connected to the computers available to them and to the beneficiaries.

 

Learn about the differences between paper and electronic reading:

Screen:

The screen helps to read and fast traffic. When we start scrolling, we tend to read faster and less deeply, as opposed to the continuous flipping of paper pages.

We know that there are many other sources, too many pages, lots of alternatives to any article, book or document, that makes us all read quickly, wanting to get the greatest amount of information. Possible information, and make up for what we missed.

When Professor Liu Zeng, a professor at San Jose State University, conducted his focused research on reading online and using electronic reading equipment, he found that many things had changed.

On screens, people tend to read and scan quickly, searching for specific words, making them read more selectively.

On paper, people tend to focus more on following the text.

Leo concludes that reading has become the new reading method, and the more we read online, the more we want to move to read faster, without stopping to meditate on any idea.

paper:

Most of Ann Mengen’s research focuses on the effect of readable form, not only on eye movement or reading, but also on the ability to handle texts in general.

One of its basic hypotheses is that the material existence of the book; its weight, its size, its sense, has an important effect on what is greater than the mere emotional state.

People love paper books, not because they are related to an old, nostalgic weather, but because the physical nature of the book has deeper implications for reading and understanding.

Mangan recalls that she hears people say they feel like they have not read anything, if they read the book on an electronic device, and it is an ephemeral experience.

Mangan feels that it is obvious that the physical existence of the book is important in reading experiences where you need to feel that you are standing on firm foundations. The text you read on the computer does not simply have such a clear physical presence.

In her new research with colleagues, “Mangen”, after asking readers about the chronology of a simple story given to them, found that the readers who read it were more likely to be in a healthier order than readers who read it on the Kindle.

This is despite the simplicity of the plot and complex events, and that the Kindle uses electronic ink technology that mimics the form of printed books, but the material physical presence of books is important to the process of understanding.

While Wolf’s attention went beyond mere understanding, she feared the impact of passive electronic reading on what she called deep reading. Deep reading is not the reading in which we look for news and information, or we try to know the essence of a subject.

Deep reading is the sophisticated, complex and growing process of understanding, Wolf says, missing by young architects and doctors.

Reading is a bridge of thought and foresight, and Wolf sees that this process is in particular at risk.

So what happened to the way young people read ? What happened to our ability to form an integrated understanding of something? Do we have a little time so we are not allowed to practice deep reading? Will you read deeply because of the way we read it

Wolf points to the fact that electronic reading requires greater self-control and self-control because of the multiple distractions that appear during reading.

In the printed book, you will not need to adjust yourself at the same rate you will need to continue reading if you are reading an electronic book, but the self-monitoring cycle is repeated repeatedly during electronic reading.
