Library vs. internet Intro: (Brief definition of library and Internet) The internet and the library, both are the considered to be a big depository of information. Library can be defined as “A collection of literary documents or records kept for reference or borrowing. While Internet is defined as “An electronic network providing access to millions of resources worldwide. OR A library is a place where there are a lot of books, educational magazines, journals and newspapers and so on for people to borrow or read to gain information. The internet, on the other hand, is a computer network where students can get any information just by opening the network OR (Detailed definition of lib and internet)
Library: A library is an organized collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material, and may be a physical building or room. A library's collection include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, audiobooks, databases, e-books, and other formats. Libraries range in size from a few shelves of books to several million items. A library is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, a corporation, or a private individual. Public and institutional collections and services may be intended for use by people who choose not to—or cannot afford to—purchase an extensive collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their research. Libraries often provide quiet areas for studying, and they also often
offer common areas to facilitate group study and collaboration. Libraries often provide public facilities for access to their electronic resources and the Internet. They are extending services beyond the physical walls of a building, by providing material accessible by electronic means.
Internet: The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. It is an international network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, linked by networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents, the infrastructure to email and file sharing Internet has been widely used by academia since the 1980s. Internet use grew rapidly in the West from the mid-1990s to early 2000s and from the late 1990s to present in the developing world. In 1994 only 3% of American classrooms had access to the Internet while by 2002 92% did. Newspaper, book, and other print publishing are adapting to website technology. The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking.
Overview: Finding information for academic assignments, is part and parcel of a student’s life. Students need a lot of reliable information they can get for use in academic written work in order to excel in their studies. Time tick and in a blink of an eye. From the era of flipping thru the pages of books and articles from the library till the era of using the latest technology; internet to search for any information with a click 24/7 from a digital gadget, there’s been a huge difference between both elements in term of expect and uses for the student. Therefore which one of these two is a better source of information for students? There compare and contrast between the library and the internet are as follows:
Why Internet? Firstly, looking into internet; online database, that is commonly used by people even student to help with their need, work, finding relevant information and homework. the ability to work from any location with the a simple click on the search tap on the electronic gadget that we have, the information being available all in one place, the diversity of resources provided, and the availability of resources that would they would not have access to otherwise.
1. Easy to use: Nowadays, people prefer to use the internet over books because it is more accessibly. You only need a computer and an internet provider. It is easier and faster to find your topic. You just have to type a certain keyword in any search engine and it will give you a list of websites that are related to your topic. Hence, people use internet for an easy and fast research.
2. Quick Search: Finding information in the library requires more time and energy. This is because there are hundreds, sometimes thousands, of books in a library. Students need a lot of patience in order to get the book that they want. There is a book catalogue for students in every library and it sometimes might be very helpful in helping students to find the book they want easily. However, knowing how to use the book catalogue may be a difficult task for some students and they have to get help from the librarians. Using the book catalogue also is a little time consuming. The Internet is an incredibly powerful research aid. The internet, on the other hand, requires lesser time in order to get information. Therefore, students can get information very quickly. Students just have to type what information they want in a portal and the information will appear on the page. There will be lots of information appearing as well so students can choose which one they prefer.
3. Online tools for assistance: The tools available for college students online include multiple thesaurus, dictionary, grammar and study guides, research databases and search engines of all kinds. Email is widely used across universities to communicate with teachers. Social media has also been utilized in education.
4. Accessibility: Libraries have harder accessibility. This is because libraries are not open all the time. . Furthermore, not every book in the whole wide world can fit into a library. Therefore, sometimes students cannot get to find the book that they want because that particular book is not found in that particular library. The ability to access the very latest information. Library books take time to order, accession and be available on the shelves. On the other hand, the internet has much easier accessibility. Students may find it frustrating at times.

Moreover, everything about the world and what is happening in the world can be found on the internet. Besides that, the information that is found in the internet is much more recent and updated compared to the books in the library.
6. Online help from Experts: Being able to communicate directly with subject experts by email. Whilst students can phone local experts, or write to distant ones, electronic communication allows fast, and cheap, answers to questions. Some Internet sites provide lists of subject experts who have indicated that they will answer these types of questions from students.
7. A better overview: Not only that, students believe electronic resources does provide a good overview of what is available on any particular topic, and more up-to-date resources and improve the quality of their papers by allowing them to spend less time in the research phase and more time in the writing phase, time frame wise is reduce as a click on the search tab is easier to browse thru the thick book in the library as online database seem more convenient and less intimidating than the library.
Why Library? Library, a place where all the books are placed in shelves and usually group according to genres and relevant topic. Since related topics are shelved near each other, you can easily find books or journals with relevant articles when a student needs it. The Internet is not a substitute for the library, but a search tool to be used in addition to traditional sources in the library.
1. Everything Is Not On the Internet: The Internet consists of a small percentage of what’s published. Search engines such as Google, AltaVista, and Yahoo access are limited. Only 8% of all journals and even fewer books are on the Internet. The most reliable scholarly information is available in books and journals. A virtual library cannot replace the traditional library. Two California libraries (Monterey and California Polytechnic University) attempted this method, only to find out first hand that it can’t work. They found out that everything is not on the Internet.
2. The Internet Is Not Organized There is not a system that catalogues and organizes all resources on the Internet. A search on the Internet is similar to searching an unclassified catalogue. When you use any of the search engines, you’re searching only part of the Internet. Searches are not always relevant to your topic and can cause a lot of wasted time, frustration and confusion
3. The Internet Doesn’t Have Quality Control Quality control isn’t easy to achieve on the Internet. Open Source information on the Internet is quite common and easy to get misinformed information. Anyone with access to the Internet can publish a Website. Where as Books are published with authenticated and authorized publisher.
4. Accuracy and Reliability: Before information reaches a library, it is filtered in three ways: (a) It is written and/or issued by an authoritative source such as the federal government or a reliable organization; (b) It is authenticated as part of an editorial or peer review process by a publisher; (c) It is evaluated by experts, reviewers, or subject specialists/librarians as part of collection development.
Reliability is very important for students so that the academic works they produce have correct information and it is not plagiarized. Books found in the library have very high reliability and are often written by very well-known and expert authors. Many journals and research papers found in the library also have high reliability. On the other hand, Information on the Web has no evaluation criteria has a lower level of reliability compared to libraries unless the websites are authentic and valid
5. Library Online Resources are Available 24/7 Modern libraries online databases can be accessed 24 hours a day 7 days a week from the library’s webpage. These databases are in the library’s collection and can be accessed on campus and remotely with your University ID via the Internet. This is not to be confused with searching the Internet.
6. Tuition and Fees Pay for Library Use Library resources are paid for with your tuition and fees, so take advantage of it. Libraries provide free access to scholarly books, journals, newspapers, encyclopaedias, and other print reference sources. A lot of information on the Internet is FREE, except scholarly materials. A paid subscription is required to access.
7. Trained Professionals Available For Assistance Knowledgeable and friendly librarians are available to assist with locating information in person, chat, e-mail or telephone. Request assistance at the beginning of your research and spare valuable time spent on the Internet.
8. E-books are Available E-books are full-text and searchable. Text can be searched automatically, and cross-referenced using hyperlinks. Dictionaries, reference works, and some textbooks, benefit from search and cross-reference capabilities. Content is available 24/7.
9. The Internet Has Fewer Archival Materials The library has older materials than the Internet. Digitalization that goes back more than 10-15 years can be difficult to locate on the Internet. The Internet provides more timely information, and is constantly updated.
10. Sources on the Internet are harder to Identify: Information on the WWW is hard to tell who’s telling you what and where is the location of the information. When you use information in your paper from the Internet, it’s important to print it out and cite your sources. Information taken from the Web can change overnight. Information taken from the library or databases in the library gives the exact location. Facts and figures should always be crossreferenced with other resources.
Facts and Figures from researches: For library:
Educationally-valid research on this topic has been ongoing for over a decade, with results compared over 3 continents so far. The findings prove conclusively that academic achievement - how well students perform at school - has a direct correlation to the quality of a school's library services. Research has shown that developing good library services - even in economically disadvantaged areas - improved students' achievements in standardised tests. Direct observation, ed by anecdotal evidence, has witnessed a plethora of students undertaking research via the Internet, without any reference to print-based resources. However, classroom teachers have noted that the "quality" of the information has decreased with an increase in access to the Internet.
There are over 4 billion unique, publicly accessible websites Only 6% of these have educational content The average life of a webpage is 75 days Google, the largest search engine, has indexed less than 18% of the available pages A great deal of the Internet is not able to be indexed by traditional search engines, and remains hidden from them. This is known as the Invisible, or Deep, Web.
For Internet:
Many college student today have not once checked out a book from the library for school research in their entire college career. Is that sad, or just changing times? Of course they read books for good literature, but when it comes to studying, they rely solely on the internet (thanks, Google). When students have group projects that require heavy research, we all meet at the library, but not as they used to, with a stack of books in front of us. All of us meet up with a laptop/tablet in hand. The classes in colleges have Facebook groups where the teacher posts interesting links/ materials for the course, while students comment and collaborate within the group. According to Cisco’s report, 55 percent of college students and 62 percent of young employees say they could “not live” without the Internet. According to a study done in 2002 by Steve Jones, 73% of college students say they use the internet more than they us the library for information research, while only 9% say the opposite.
In a Nut Shell: However, the Internet and the Web should not be disregarded as valuable research tools. With proper training and cross-referencing, both can be highly effective and efficient means by which students locate information. As computers are becoming more common in schools and homes, students and teachers are becoming more computer literate and Internet literate. In exemplary school libraries, the teaching program includes instruction in the use the Internet. However, this is not restricted to merely "finding" web sites, but also how to evaluate the quality of the information found. Students also learn how to quickly access the best possible information, from facilities such as directories and databases. There’s always good and bad in all aspect and element so is library comparing with internet, an online database. Which side of the coin to flip to is always depending on the need of a student in working on the task given? Therefore, greatly believe a choice is always on the hand of a person. What do you think?
