Abstract

The word library comes from the Latin word liber which translates to “book.” This study has taken library synonymous with books-textbooks, journals, reference books—all conventional methods of gaining knowledge. There has been a rapid decline in the use of traditional methods, including bedside teaching, owing to the new, digital sources of learning which has been precipitated by the deadly pandemic of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) among various other reasons. This research is focused on drawing conclusions regarding learning from actual, physical books, traditional classroom teaching, and the new-onset era of digital learning. Digital learning has grown tremendously through the unfortunate COVID-19.
