In ideal terms, in the school of my dreams where I teach and learn, the library is a physical space to meet fellow students, to gather materials, to organize thoughts, to follow ideas in new directions... Yes, I realize that there are many structures and resources available to accomplish that online, but I still stand firm for the need for face-to-face human contact along with virtual collaboration.
