Why
use a library?
Key Concepts:
1. Information can be viewed as a public good.
There can even be a right to
some kinds of information in a
democratic society.
2. Information can be viewed as a private good.
Access to some kinds of information may be restricted.
Some
kinds of information are commodities that are bought and sold in the
marketplace.
3. Many Libraries,
themselves a public good, provide
access to both kinds of
information.
4. Libraries provide access to databases, which
are often expensive.
