Traditionally, people's first impression about library is that it is a books container where only shelves paper books. Perhaps the first and foremost reason why individuals do not like multimedia at library is that they distract readers' attention. To cite an example, if somebody is watch a video next to us, we would be attracted by sounds and images. Another compelling reason is that, initially, buying media facilities are expensive, and librarians have to buy computer accessories, desk and also pay the internet fee.
Some people, however, myself included, advocate that media can abstract more readers and save money and space. As we know, media offer a dynamic combination of images, sounds and virtual tours. I am positive that listening to reputed speech or taking a virtual tour is far more interactive and exciting than only reading books. In addition, it takes great efforts to prevent books from moisture, fire and human damages, while electrical books are easily to be copied and stored. With the help of software, a few librarians are able to in charge of a entire library, which would reduce maintenance fees. Last but not least, digital contents save physical space. Consider a single DVD as an example, it can store hundreds of dictionaries which fulfill an entire shelf.
