Which comes first, the book or the web site?

If you checked out Library Ninja in the Mystery Spoot list you'll see an illustration of one of my pet peeves. My library aid and I often have similar races to find the answer to a question and guess what? The one who searches print resources often wins over the one who does the Internet search. Why do kids go to the web first or rely solely on the Internet to provide information?
Come into the library and check out some of our fabulous hardcover reference resources. You'll save yourself time!
