Abstract
In this episode of WFAE 90.7 FM's "Charlotte Talks," host Mike Collins engages in a discussion with Dr. Mark Y. Herring, Dean of Dacus Library at Winthrop University from 1999 to 2020, and Bill Nelson, Director of Libraries at Augusta State University. The conversation explores the evolving role of university libraries amidst the rise of the internet, focusing on challenges such as increased plagiarism and students' prioritization of information speed over accuracy. Dr. Herring, known for his article "10 Reasons Why the Internet Is No Substitute for a Library," and his book Fool's Gold: Why the Internet Is No Substitute for a Library, provides insights into the indispensable value of traditional libraries in the digital age.
