The relevance of a library in a design school

Due to the different types of design movements and era’s of the design movements we are studying and being influence by the library is highly important in providing us with accessible and reliant information. As a 21^st century generation we have grown up with the accessibility to attain almost all the information we need about a vast range of topics via the internet. Whilst we have access to websites such as Wikipedia, the information found on these sites aren’t verified and are usually limited. When we use the library to obtain our research sources we are assured that the information and sources are sound and reliable.
