Based
on the Foxdale interview information with one of the Foxdale resident that I
met last month, who was the Dean of Library System at Penn State, she mentioned
that the library system in the mid twentieth century were required to provide
more space for books and readers. Early libraries were small and inside
buildings rather than entire structure. Moreover, the early libraries were
depended in physical research for books and sources, and the technology system
were not implemented at that time.
I
started looking for information to compare the differences between the
university library system in the past and the present. I found that the current
university library system is more sophisticated and the students are able to
begin their research by accessing through electronic system using their student
ID and password. “Students are able to access
newspapers, magazines, books, scholarly journals and more with the search
engine” (Cited in Hricik, 2011).
