ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to compare Grade 12 Student’s Internet use and
library use. It was based on the assumption that Grade 12 Students used the
internet more than the library. The findings of the study indicate that Grade 12
Student’s do not bypass the library in satisfying their information need. They use
both the library and it’s also the most preferred source of information. Student’s also
make use of source such as the media, Lectures notes and interaction with their
lectures, Teachers, Parents and Friends most library services are well patronized
while most internet services are much underutilized. The recommendations of the
study indicate that use one formula to gathered data, therefore it enhance the
researcher to understand and to gather data in an easiest way, add more
respondents on your study to become more realistic and credible, focus on your
topic specially when choosing an accurate are in terms of adequate information and
reliability of the study. The researcher adopted convenient sampling techniques to
select the sample of the study. Data was collected by survey and interview. Collect
data was statistical analyzed and interpret using the statistical techniques, although
internet usage was more than the library, hence the internet was the most preferred
source of information.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Knowledge is one of the biggest factors to know if the person is literate or not.
In fact, without knowledge, they cannot be as intelligent or smart as others.
According to Dunn (2013), They take information and ideas from books, TV, The
internet, our family, friends, teachers and many other sources. With the Help of the
information, they can gain knowledge. Books and internet mentioned above. It only
means that these two sources was one and still helpful way for others when it comes
in taking in information. Students nowadays are the ones who need to seek
information about anything because of the different assignment researches, and
many other activities they have. These days, most of them use two (2) different ways
in searching information Ranganathan (2000), The “Father of Science Library” said
that “a library is a public institution of establish charged with the care of a collection
of books and the duty of making them accessible to those who required use them
and the task of converting every person in its neighborhood into a habitual library
goers and a regular reader”.
And also, the main function of it are: (1) help the life- long self-education of
one and all, (2) furnish up to date facts and information on all subjects to one and all,
(3) distribute in an unblessed and balanced way all sources of recorded reviews and
thought to one and all, and serve as a helper in the discharge of their political
responsibilities in respect of local, national, and international affairs, (4) Contributes
1
to productive drive by information to management of the latest trends in diverse
enterprises by sloughing back in the minds or researchers, designers and
technologists, every piece of relevant new thoughts promptly, (5) preserve the
literary remains of humanity for posterity as vehicles of culture and source materials
for antiquarian research, (6) Provides to one and all worthy and elevating use of
leisure, and (7) in general, work for continued social wellbeing as the agency in
charge of all socialized thought. With this information, they can conclude that if
people use books as their source of information, they are assured that the
information they get are legit.
Aside from libraries, Internet is also a very useful way for others. According to
Strauss (2003). The internet is a whole network that is connected to each either.
Some computers in this network are storing files, such as web pages which can be
accessed by all network computers. In the internet, they can visit different websites
that may help them if they need information about something that they wanted to
know. Fitzpatrick (2007), listed the Top 15 Most Influential Websites of All Time and
there are: Match.com, Reddit, Pandora, Wikileaks, Yahoo, Craigslist, Youtube,
Facebook, Wikipedia, Amazon, and Goggle. This websites have more visitors other
than the others and they can notice that the Google is the most visited website
among them. Knowing that this websites is a tool for searching and with the help of
this tool. People can easily access to the internet to find whatever they wanted.
Consider this two ways of finding information. There is nothing wrong of using them.
But, how can they know if the information on the book was still applicable for us?
2
They know that information is not forever and it can’t be always be right. It is
changeable depending on the time that they need it.
This study will show the comparative study of the use of the internet and the
library as the source of information.
Theoretical Framework
Theory of Library
According to University of Greenwich (2016). Using a large academic library
for the first time can be a daunting experience. With literally thousands of books, e-
books, online journals, and other resources, tracking down the sources of
information They needed for the academic work can sometimes seem confusing and
time consuming.
However, learning to use the Library and its resources is an important skill to
master. By finding and using good quality information in their assignments, They
demonstrating those marketing their work opinions are informed and built on
research conducted by experts in their field. This is an essential skill to demonstrate
in order to attract top marks for they work. Here they can find some clear and
practical guidance on how to make effective use of library resources to find the
information they need for your studies and get maximum benefit from what is
available.
Books will prove to be an invaluable source of information for your studies.
There will be particular books that are recommended by your tutors via your reading
3
lists, but you may also want to do your own wider reading and research using books
on the subjects you are studying. Books can provide valuable background
information, an in-depth overview of a subject, an explanation of theories and a
comparison of differing ideas, approaches and opinions. They will not be surprised
to hear that there are lots of books in the University of Greenwich libraries. The
easiest way to check whether we have the book you need, whether it is currently
available, and where exactly you can find it, is to search our library catalogue.
Find out more about using the Library and borrowing books. In addition to the
print books in the libraries, they also have an extensive collection of nearly 13,000
full text e-books. E-books are great because they can access them at any time and
quickly search the whole of the text for relevant information. Many e-books can also
be downloaded to their own device so that they can read them offline. Searching
tools like the library catalogue, Journal, News paper and Library Search can help
them to discover the some authentic information and other sources that the libraries
have.
Theory of Internet
According to Sahin.et.al (2010), the most effective communication resources,
computers and the Internet, are part of our daily life and have become one of the
important tools in the education. The Internet helps transfer information between
different points therefore this satiation makes the Internet a very powerful
information system. People in different age groups and jobs, students and
academicians who do scientific research and prepare projects prefer using the
4
Internet because it is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest ways of accessing
necessary information. Even though the Internet is a very important and
indispensable source for students, the issue of whether the referenced source is
trustworthy and/or credible, has been raised. This is because there is no control on
any particular piece of information published through the Web, in opposition to the
scientific and professional journals published by the scientific institutions, business
world and the organizations known to the public.
Many of the sites on the Internet enable anybody to submit any kind of
information without being controlled, and many of the sites known as reliable are
restricted to open access for commercial purposes or security requirements (IP
restriction, membership). So that Internet limits the accessibility for students and
deprives them of these sites. Because of these constraints, information resources
used by students are generally untrustworthy or students have been inaccurately
forwarded.
In the theory of library discussed the findings and quality information they are
demonstrating. Library is an essential skills to demonstrate in order to attack top
marks for other works. Some books will prove that the source of information is more
reliable in terms of studies and other paper works. Many researchers using library as
their searching tools like journals, catalogs, and newspaper.
Then, the theory of internet is a effective communication resources internet
helps us to transfer information between different points. Internet is a powerful
information system. Many of the sites on the internet can anybody submit of
5
information without being controlled. Internet is reliable but restricted to open access
for commercial purposes or security requirements.

Dependent Variables show their Gender, Name and Section are the effects of
independent variable which is the cause of it. This research is a comparative study
6
that the Grade 12 students of St. Gregory College of Valenzuela using internet and
library can help them as a source of their information.
Statement of the problem
This study aims to create a comparative study on the preferred source of
information of Grade 12 students in St. Gregory College of Valenzuela. Whether
library and internet.
1. What are the number of Grade 12 students use:
a. Library and other books
b. Internet
2. What are the possible reasons of the students choosing this source of
information?
Significance of the Study
This research is significant for the students because student before is not
using internet they just using library as their primary source of information but now
they’re using both Internet and library as their searching tools, the result of this study
will give them chance to explore more gathered new ideas to improve their
knowledge. Meanwhile, this research serves as their tool that will help them in
teaching different subject also it will serve as their reference to know the latest
information and what is the most authentic source of data.
To School Administrations, this research gives them an idea in how they can
help the teaching staff to solve the problem of what is the most authentic source of
7
data knowing that students nowadays is quickly believe the rumors. And Lastly,
Future Researcher, This research can be a useful reference for them who would
plan to make any related study. They can apply will give the people an idea on how
they can help themselves to identify what is the most authentic source of information
in terms of using internet and library.
Scope and Limitation
The main focus of the study is on the school of St. Gregory College of
Valenzuela. The participants are Grade 12 Senior High School students 10
representative each sections who determine the comparative study use of the
internet and the library as the source of information.
The respondents are Grade 12 Senior High School Students strands of ABM,
GAS, HUMSS, and STEM, for the researcher to firm and determine the comparative
study use of the internet and library as the source of information. The respondents
are chosen random to answer the survey questionnaire with 10 response
representative in each strands, because this study was too expensive to print more
than 10 so the researcher conducted it just to prevent expenses and to manage the
time of the researcher.
This study is for Grade 12 Senior High School students only, Junior High
School students are not involve in the research. The purpose of the study is to
formulate on what are the number of Grade 12 students using library and internet as
the source of information.

Definition of Terms
Comparative Analysis – Comparative analysis is a study that compares and contrast
two things: two life insurance policies, two sports figures, two presidents, etc. The
study can be done to find the crucial differences between two very similar things or
the similarities between two things that appears to be different on the surface. (Ask
Media Group, 2019)
Library- “A Library is a collection of resources in a variety of formats that is (1)
organized by information professionals or other experts who 920 provide convenient
physical, digital, bibliographic, or intellectual access and (3) offer targeted service
and programs (4) with the mission of educating, informing, or entertaining a variety
of audience (5) and the goal of stimulating individual learning and advancing society
as a whole.” (Eberhart, 2010)
Internet – The internet is a global wide area network that connects computer
systems across the world includes several high-bandwidth data lines that comprise
the internet “Backbone”. (Sharped Production, 2019)

Chapter II
REVIW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Local Literature
The PUP websites (1998) have new internet and web technologies which can
help visitor’s information and online services that is relevant and useful to them.
Technology is the factor to the learning of the student, not only to learn but also to
renew something to learn technology was broad and some students was curious
about on that technology can do to other things so that it may expect that 12 every
generation will have a new invented in using technology especially they will not do
that if they don’t browse in books.
Book have a trusted spot in our culture as legitimate sources of information,
having vetted by an entire network of people, the technology does not always have
that same quality assurance but it does have the wisdom of the crowds, replying that
at least one reader will catch and point out the mistake. Those whom respondent’s,
Followed by “printers” (who dislike reading on a screen). Technologies (who
embrace the advantages of electronic media). The smallest category pragmatist
(who see advantages to both print and electronic media but care more about the
content than the container.
According to Navarette (2015) The library and the internet are repositories of
our collective knowledge. Libraries and the internet host the culture heritage, the
memory of the present and past civilization. Libraries and internet are major sources
10
of information that researchers commonly use, for purposes assignment and to
obtain reliable information that can be utilized to researchers. A library is a sea of
books, educational magazines, news papers and so on for people to dive into,
explore, discover, and build knowledge. Unlike library, the internet is a universe of
computer networks where researchers can search for any kind of information, bad or
good simply by opening the network.
As a sources of information for students, libraries and the internet have ,any
similar but different aspects such a time, reliability, and accessibility.
According to Toplina (2017) Public libraries providing a vast range of
information to U.E students from the stacks of non-fiction books, to racks of
newspapers and magazines, to shelves of reference materials and government
documents, libraries have been the place to go to find answers to questions.
The internet has challenged libraries’ traditional role by providing a seemingly
limitless amount of information for only the price of an internet connection and a
computer. Now from one’s own living room, it is possible to track down a
government document, look up an article in the archives of a magazine, a traditional
encyclopedia or even in the newest user-created encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Even
asking for and getting help for all manner of questions or circumstances is now
possible online, at any hour of the day or night.Libraries have rushed to adapt
themselves to the internet age, adding computers with digital catalogs of library
holdings as well as free internet access. Libraries have worked to become the place
11
to go for those who cannot afford a computer or an internet connection, or who need
training or help in computer and internet literacy. To explore this changing landscape,
the U.E students and the National University partnered with funding from the U.S.
Institute of Museum and Library Services to explore the role of libraries, the internet
and other avenues in how Americans seek information and assistance on matters
often related to the government, how well they succeed in their searches and how
they see their efforts in the future.
The internet in U.E long ago moved from the province of the technology
sophisticates to part of life in Main Street Caloocan.
According to Harter (1980) “a literature search is an attempt to identify, locate
and synthesize completed research reports, articles, books and other materials
about the specific problems of a research topic. The research literature and
subsequent review can be of value to researchers by helping them to regard their
studies as contributions to a large topic of which the inquiry at hand is only a part.”
Defending the views of Harter the literature search was conducted on the broader
area, collection management, changing trend in university library collections, its
impact on collection development policies, archiving, licensing agreements and
digitalization. The Internet contains an endless supply of knowledge and information
that allows you to learn about almost any topic or question you may have. Using
a search engine like Google, you can ask virtually any question and find a web
page with an answer to that question. There are also millions of videos on sites
12
like YouTube that help explain various topics and even online courses that can be
taken to help teach you about many different subjects.
According to De Leon (2008) Library has always been described as the heart
of the university. It has been called the brain of the academic body. The scholar's
Work Shop. Library has become so important that renowned scholars judged the
quality of education by the quality of library service in the university. But in today’s
scenario the position of the library in the academic institution does not seem to be
the same. With the development of technology, in particular information and
communication technologies more comprehensive relevant and easily searchable
subject directories and search engine like Yahoo and Google and ubiquity of the
web have resulted in a generation of students who now perceive the Internet as the
most familiar, convenient and expedient source of information.
The Internet eases of communication to the researchers; because it serves as
a guidance and original source of information. It is very easy to access and at the
same time saves time thereby allowing an individual to manager his/her resources
better and effectively. Additionally, the Internet is very convenient because an
individual can easily carry out a research work at home with much comfort and
convenience. The internet is a valuable search tool and has been informative for
academic research, as it helps significantly to improve research skills, and makes
learning visual and easy to follow.
According to Santos (2003) The Internet has rapidly become one of the most
powerful global sources of a wide range of information presenting many possibilities.
13
for librarians and information providers to seek information relating to their
day‐to‐day activities, from buying books and serials to teaching information literacy
skills. This paper delineates how libraries can benefit from the use of Internet
resources to enhance the quality of their various services, at the same time saving
both money and time. Some strategies for identifying valuable and relevant online
resources are presented; and a number of most useful Internet tools and resources
that are of great interest to librarians and information workers are discussed.
Internet is so much essential. According to Almahit (2015) Study is most
essential part of a student’s life. So internet helps students to find out the solution of
their problems. So internet gives so many benefits to students. They can use it for
their career growth and get knowledge. There are so many sites which are providing
free lectures also. The students who are not able to get study material in the specific
location like rural areas they can easily get It through online marketing systems.
According to PUP websites (2017) The Internet is a powerful tool for assisting
students and educators with conducting research. Going to a library and searching
through a card catalog by hand can be laborious and inefficient compared to
searching for the same information on a computer. Many institutions offer online
library systems which allow students to find information on books using lab
computers, or to access databases of scholarly articles that they can read online.
Academic libraries encompass research libraries, baccalaureate, masters and
doctoral degree granting institutions, junior and community colleges, and distance
learning programs of higher education. Academic libraries work together with other
14
members of their institutional communities to participate in, support, and achieve the
educational mission of their institutions by teaching the core competencies of
information literacy the abilities involved in identifying an information need,
accessing needed information, evaluating, managing, and applying information, and
understanding the legal, social, and ethical aspects of information use. The
systematic delivery of instructional programs and services should be planned in
concert with overall strategic library planning, including the library’s budgeting
process. Such planning may also involve strategizing with other campus units to
deliver collaboratively designed programming. Research has shown that the
academic library is a positive influencing factor on students' academic success.
According to De Lasalle (2019) The Internet has revolutionized the human
life as it has entered in every home, business, school, and Government office
throughout the world today. Globalization owes much to the Internet; for it has
reduces the distances because of its swift communication system. It is evident from
the history of scientific inventions that the Internet is incomparable to other
inventions of science as most of other inventions are interlinked with it. Particularly,
the field of education has been widely influenced by the Internet as it has created
convenience and swiftness in this field, especially in the field of research. Everyone,
regardless of one’s age, is being benefited by the Internet. There are definitely some
advantages and disadvantages of the Internet for research purposes.
The library occupies a very important place in school. With its books suited to
the interests and aptitude of students of different age group, with its magazines,
15
periodicals, news papers and with its calm and tranquil atmosphere it has a special
call to the students who go there and quench their thirst for reading the material
which cannot be provided to them in the class room. Here they find an environment
which is conductive to the building up of habit of self learning. The library is the
center of the intellectual and social activities of school. The library has got very
wholesome effect over the work of school.
According to Jayanayth (2018) A library plays a very important role in
promoting the progress of knowledge. There are many people who love reading. But
they can’t afford to buy books because the prices of books are very high. So when
one becomes a member of a library, he can borrow valuable books. A member can
borrow two books at a time and he can keep it with him for two weeks. Libraries are
particularly useful for poor children. Even those who are better off can’t afford to buy
all the books they require for their studies. For instance, invaluable books like
Encyclopedias and large dictionaries cannot be purchased.
The internet is the source of knowledge. All kinds of information is present in
it. it is easily accessed and can be searched more to get more additional knowledge.
Information like educational related, government laws, market sales, stocks and
shares, new creations etc. is gathered from a single place.
According to Rodriguez (2010) Libraries define, develop, and measure
outcomes that contribute to institutional effectiveness and apply findings for
purposes of continuous improvement. Libraries articulate how they contribute to
student learning, collect evidence, document successes, share results, and make
16
improvements. Libraries articulate how they contribute to student learning, collect
evidence, document successes, share results, and make improvements. The
Internet is a marvelous invention. Because of its introduction into education and its
availability to just about anyone, the world will probably never be the same.
People of all ages can log on 24/7 in search of whatever they need. The elderly
woman who is unable to drive can log onto the Internet and shop for groceries, fill a
prescription or even chat with her grandchildren via web cam.
Local Studies
According to Espinosa (2006), students can learn through the new
convergence of technology, students get to experience the best of both worlds. They
can be tutored in schools and get additional lessons through the web. It is clearly
stated of the author that we can learn through technology because in the Philippine
student had their own way to learn or to get an additional learning in their academic
purpose. The author also study about the learning standard of the other country like
US, California, and Oklahoma in using technology and because of that Philippines
have do the same way when it comes to applying education technology.
According to Mapua (2016) The benefits of reading book that one of the best
ways to exercise the mind, to improve knowledge and also to keep the 12 impact,
but it also does a host of good for us. Both internet and books should go hand in
hand so that he next generation enjoys a better future. Students need to balance the
things on their studying.
17
According to Almario (2015) The modern world is so fast that people don’t
have the time to read books so they preferred internet. The internet facilities is
available almost in every book and corner of the world. The availability of this facility
on Cell phones has made in the path easier. Despite the comfort provided by this
revolutionizing facilities in the internet. There are some people who will loved to be
engage in reading book, it is because, people sometimes find in difficult to search on
the internet. So they preferred to read books or journals available in the library, to be
on the safer side.
Both Internet and books should go hand in hand so that the next generation
enjoy a better future.
According to Robinson (2006) simplistically, libraries and archives came into
being to provide a central location for hard-to-find, scarce, expensive or unique
material. Scarcity of information is the basis for the modern library. In countries
where information continues to be scarce, a library's role is still unambiguous. In
some countries where access to information is now akin to access to electricity or
water, the reason to have freestanding storehouses of a subset of all information is
harder to articulate. Libraries in such countries can provide access to more
information than any user could want or need. Rangathan's rule "for every reader,
his or her book," might be now redefined as "for every reader, huge amounts of
freefloating content, anywhere, anytime. We now live in the information age where
access to many Internet resources is just a few clicks away. The Internet is a
technology which has gained more popularity in many countries across the world
18
and India, is no exception. The Internet as a medium of communication and source
of information has enabled students, researchers, business information seekers and
information professionals to access information to enhance their work and
communicate effectively.
According to San Juan De Letran (2017) the library contains the sources of
information accessible to a community of a reference or borrowing. Internet sources,
if done incorrectly, may put the quality of a student’s works into questions. With
thousands of site in the internet, only a sizeable amount of substantive materials on
the internet is available for free consumption; most of it businessoriented.
There are the sites that offer journals, periodicals, and others academic
materials, and ask for money in return.
According to Garcia (2010) Libraries are useful I information gathering. He
stressed that all the information is factual in libraries as books underwent
consultation, reviews, and revisions by different experts. “Some information found on
the internet are nit reliable because people try to mock others through false
information,” he says, adding that the library is still the best place to look when doing
any form of research.
According to UP website (2018) Modern life has become easier and the
people of the world have to thanks to the immense contribution of the internet
technology to communication and information sharing. There is no doubt that
internet has made our life become easier and more convenient. We can use internet
to communicate with people around the world, doing business by using internet,
19
make new friend and know different cultures, searching information, studying and
etc. The internet not only allows for communication through email but also ensures
easy availability of information, images, and products amongst other things. Every
day the internet continues to provide a new facility, something new that is immensely
convenient and that makes life more easier for web users. However, the internet
also contains some unwanted elements or disadvantages. The following are the
advantages and disadvantages of the internet.
Libraries are still the best place to find primary and scholarly sources, an
essential element in any research project. And if a library does not have its own copy
of a source, it can borrow resources from other libraries through interlibrary loan.
Libraries are staffed with librarians who are often subject matter experts or at least
knowledgeable about their own collections. Getting a librarian's assistance can
mean having access to resources you never would have known about. And library
collections are heavily vetted. Students can be sure that the majority of items in a
library are reliable sources.
According to Reymundo (2019) A library is divided into a number of sections
or departments on the basis of subjects; history, math’s, science, commerce, English
and a number of other sections and sub-sections; poetry, fiction, drama etc. The
required books can be traced from the index card. In library everything is arranged
orderly so no confusion at all. Libraries provide the students very healthy
environment. In a library atmosphere is very calm and disciplined. It helps students
to keep very good concentration on their studies. Libraries are the only place where
20
we are free from all conventions because reading is absolutely a matter of personal
choice. Freedom is the keyword for the libraries. Readers are allowed to read what
they like and also read the book according to their own manner. Nobody would
check them or disturb them. Since everything is systematic and the atmosphere is
calm so students can gain more in less time. One can save time and energy
studying in libraries.
A library plays a very vital role throughout the life. Particularly for students
library is very important. Some of the books are very rare which are not available in
the market but they can be availed from libraries. Some books like dictionary,
Encyclopedia and no other subjects are very costly. Students can get such type of
books issued from libraries. In library students can find the latest and the oldest
editions of books. Sometimes we require those books which are now out of print, so
we may arrange such books from libraries. There are various books on different
topics, written in various languages by various writers of different ages. Therefore
first of all one should make a good choice of books for oneself because library in
itself is like a conglomeration a heap of mixed collection of books.
Hence, library is an essential part of the student’s life. They should take full
advantages of the libraries available. Students should also remember that they
should not misuse the library books by marking them with ink or tearing off their
pages, required by the students. Library books must be kept properly. The Services
are used by the people to get information, do online works, discussions, e-mailing,
video chatting, voice calling, social activities, news channels, online booking and
21
many other hundred and thousand terms that we use with the help of internet. In
every country there are many companies that provide the services of net in different
rates. There get benefits from full functions you need to have a laptop, mobile or PC.
According to EDUSOFT (2018) The importance of school library cannot be
over emphasized. A library is an important source of knowledge to young minds in
school. It develops the important habit of reading among the students. Every school
should have a library. The school library plays a great role in the life of students by
serving as the store house of knowledge.
The importance of a library in a school cannot be over emphasized. While
the role of the school library remains constant, its design, digital platform, strategies
and tools could change as technology changes.
According to Buenaventura (2013) The internet has many benefits. One of
these benefits of Internet is it is the medium of communication. There are many
facilities on the internet helps us to communicate each other such as E-mail,
Facebook, Twitter and others. All these facilities enable people to communicate with
other people from different countries around the world so that it can explore other
cultures of different ethnicity. Also, Internet is a medium of information. Today, a lot
of people need the information from the internet. Because every second on the
internet, updates the information required by humans. For instance, Google and
Yahoo are search engine information on the internet that provide all kinds of topics
the information we need. Furthermore, Internet is a medium of entertainment.
Internet becomes successful because it provides a lot of entertainment that humans
22
need. For example, today many people are watching or downloading free
entertainment on the internet, and many people are playing on-line games.
A library plays a very important role in promoting the progress of knowledge.
There are many people who love reading. But they can’t afford to buy books
because the prices of books are very high. So when one becomes a member of a
library, he can borrow valuable books. A member can borrow two books at a time
and he can keep it with him for two weeks. Libraries are particularly useful for poor
children. Even those who are better off can’t afford to buy all the books they require
for their studies. For instance, invaluable books like Encyclopedias and large
dictionaries cannot be purchased.
Foreign Literature
Internet and books are two basic types of things that can be used in
Academic purposes. According to U.S. Department of Education (1994) the purpose
of computer technology in school has increased, it is the one useful thing in studying
by the use of software presentations and projects. Some have receive the literature
on technology and learning that using technology or internet has a great potential to
enhance students knowledge and teacher’s teaching if they used it approximately.
Technology aids students expression. Due to the rapid expansiveness of technology
and its wide away of uses, the incorporation of technology in learning’s has become
viable and inexpensive option. The disadvantage of technology was addicting and
some works that they need to do. We always remember that technology shoud use it
properly. The technology is not a substitute for the library but a search tool be used
23
in additional sources in the library . Books are also the best way to collect and
gathers information for academic purposes of every students. Reading books has
less harmful effects on our eye sight as compared to reading online on a computer.
But it is not that the internet only has bad 11 impact, but it is also does a host of
good for us. Both internet and books should go hand in hand so that the next
generation enjoys a better future. Student need to balance the things on their
studying.
According to EBSCO Industries (2019) Source of academic information is
very relevant to graduate students. Basically, academic libraries provide much
relevant research materials in both printed and electronic formats to support
graduate studies. Higher institutions such as the University for Development Studies
have therefore, invested resources in acquiring library infrastructure to facilitate
research work. This study sought to analyze graduate students use of library and
internet resources for academic activities. Primary data were collected using a
questionnaire from 126 graduate students who were selected using a simple random
sampling procedure. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and
variable profit regression framework. The results indicate that students use both
library and internet resources for their academic work. However, the use of internet
is more than that of the University's Library resources. Demographic and economic
variables were identified as determinants for the use of library and internet resources.
It was also discovered that challenges such as unfavourable working hours,
unfriendly library staff, lack of essential reference materials and inability to borrow
24
books affect students in library use. Besides, slow data transmission, difficulty in
accessing relevant materials and limited skills in accessing information were the
challenges associated with internet use. The results have several implications for
graduate students' academic work in the University.
According to Alberta (2013) today’s century are advances with availability of
information through two major sources, with the first one is the library and secondly
is the internet. Actually, both the internet and the library are plays a major role in
academic purposes especially in written work. Libraries are buildings that house and
catalogue books, magazines, journals, microfilm, maps, government documents and
other resources while the internet can be defined as the international network of
computers that makes things like email, the World Wide Web, blogs and online chat
as well. It was very obvious that both Internet and library have the main
responsibility in the academic written work. Each of that functions in different way by
the 3 components.
The first component will be the reliability of information that we can obtain
from the internet. In this century, the internet is the most popular way to find out
information, in spite of it some believe that a such way has more disadvantages. Not
all the information in the internet is accurate. Because, some of the information has
the space where we can edit certain things for example, Wikipedia. These website
contain faulty information whereby we can edit or add few points in it. While to library,
all the facts, information are more reliable as it in the form of books, journals and it
has significantly approved by the most of the researchers.
25
Begin with the second component is accessible of information that has stored
in the libraries and in the Internet. Online resources are the easiest way to find
information whenever and wherever we want in order to save our time. But when it
comes to library resources, it has the limited availability where we can’t obtain the
information whenever we want to have. Because, it doesn’t have in everyplace and
to every time when we wants to look for some information but when we have internet
availability we tend grabs more information by on time.
Thirdly, is about the fastest of the information where we can get updating
ourselves very fast with newly restored information. Through internet, we can easily
have the information very quickly and will receive up to date information. It was the
best and easiest way for college students to grab certain information or latest
information for their own paper work. Hence, it has the high validity in terms of
college work. While libraries, the books and the research are less updated and it will
take a long time to find information for certain matters. In a nutshell, both Internet
and libraries has considered that plays major role and providing information to those
need information like college students where they can use it in their written work. By
the both resources, we all can look for different sort’s information in order makes use
of it in our own work.
According to Hossain (2017) Internet is a versatile tool used by the students
that draws attention of many researchers. But little research has been found
regarding the comparative study of internet usage among university students. For
this reason, the study surveyed the internet usage among university students
26
coming from Business Studies, Science & Arts disciplines at University of Dhaka,
Bangladesh and the overall perceptions towards the internet usage. So we
developed a survey questionnaire and collected data on students’ demographics,
internet usage behavior and purposes of internet use. Therefore, we distributed 50
questionnaires to each discipline and a total of 150 questionnaires were returned
and all were usable. Then we analyzed the obtained data using SPSS. The results
show that the percentage of internet usage among the students coming from
Business Studies, Science and Arts disciplines is 100%, 92% and 90% respectively.
The study recommends that the students coming from Science and Arts background
should enhance the internet usage. And the students from all backgrounds should
enhance the frequency of internet access per day and invest more on internet usage.
The study also recommends that the universities should provide adequate internet
facilities and enabling environment for student.
This study provides a theoretical and empirical basis for further studies on
internet usage of university students.
Acccording to Lui (2016) University library plays a vital role to fulfill the
information needs of their users. Today they are living an information age to
access the resources is just a few clicks away. Due to rapid development of
information technology electronic resources has already influenced and changed
the way academics and researchers use traditional libraries also there is a general
idea in the society that academic community in universities all over the world has
27
adopted to use online resources than using print materials (physical library) to find
needed information.
According to Onymaizu (2015), everything is not freely available is not in the
web and sometime people has a false impression that everything can be found
online. Furthermore, he has explained that the authority, standards, quality and
accuracy in the online resources are not same as the printed materials. Based on
the above fact the present research was conducted to find the extent to which
undergraduates in the University of Kelaniya use the print and electronic resources
to fulfill information needs in their daily academic lives.
According to Descy (1997) The internet may seem like a large of information
that can be compared to a library. The internet does contain much Information, and
the internet is up to date. However, Library Information Studies, hereafter referred to
as LIS, is a scholarly field that grounds itself in logical organization of and ease of
access to information. Compared to LIS, The Internet fall as short to a great extent.
The most evident of these comings are cataloguing and accuracy.
According to Saylor Academy (2013) There are numerous benefits to relying
on libraries for research purposes. The information stored there is usually of the
highest caliber, and librarians take great pains to ensure that the periodicals and
books housed by them are top notch. Libraries often include material that you cannot
access on the Internet, or at least cannot access for free. Moreover, libraries have
addressed public demand for instant access to written materials. Many university
libraries provide digital copies of academic works, including dozens of databases of
28
online scholarly periodicals. Although these works are now online, they still hold up
to the high standards demanded by academics. You can almost never go wrong by
visiting your local or school library for information, even if that information is now
online. Of course, while providing access to an array of trustworthy sources, the
Internet is fraught with a number of perils. Although websites can be useful in
stoking your curiosity about any number of topics, and the information you can find is
often up to the minute, they should avoid citing most websites as factually reliable.
Indeed, for every credible source on a given topic, it will come across ten with less
than reputable credentials that appear under your search results. Consider an
example from a class I once taught on Nazi Germany. The student chose to write
about art during the Nazi period. As opposed to visiting the library, the student chose
to rely largely on Internet sources. Inevitably, and much to the student’s
embarrassment, he accidentally cited a pro-Nazi website on art. Websites and their
creators are exceptionally skilled at dressing up unsubstantiated opinion as empirical
fact. Had the student taken the time to visit the university library, they would not
have made this grave mistake.
Even seemingly respectable websites, such as Wikipedia, often contain
erroneous or incomplete information. If they must cite an Internet source, verify it
with their professor or instructor. It may also help to try to track down the original
resource that the website quotes or cites in order to verify the credibility of the
information. Otherwise, stick to respected online academic websites, such as those
of national museums, online archives, or universities, and leave the Internet surfing
for your free time.
29
According to Moxiety (2009) Conducting library and Internet research helps
you quickly find the information you need. This page provides useful suggestions
about how to conduct Boolean searches, for instance, and offers advice about how
to identify whether you should begin your research using the Open Web, the Gated
Web, or the Hidden Web. Many people are confused about what constitutes library
research versus what constitutes Internet research. Some people argue that
effective research is never conducted on the Internet, that one needs access to the
resources of a library to conduct thorough investigations. People in this camp argue
that institutional libraries pay significant sums to provide access to proprietary
databases to their customers that is, databases that offer abstracts, bibliographical
information, and, oftentimes, full texts of articles published in scholarly journals. Also,
research purists may argue that documents published on the Internet lack the
authority of research that is peer-reviewed and published by major publishers.
Something important to consider is the difference between an Internet resource and
an academic resource accessed via the Internet. The Internet hosts a variety of
resources, some of which are useful for casual, everyday references (like about.com)
and others which are more appropriate for an academic research assignment (like
my library's databases.
According to Jian (2013) The two major information powerhouse in the 21st
century would be the world wide web and the library. Both of them contain tons of
information which attract multitudes of people every day. All these people obtain
their information from these sources which are then used in their daily life such as
writing a research paper for a university student, a working man looking for routes
30
which have less traffic while driving home for dinner or perhaps a young teenage girl
browsing the internet for the latest fads.
However, there are disadvantages and advantages as well between the
internet and the library where one makes up for what the other does not have. Firstly,
the convenience of going to the library and the internet is already vast in comparison.
While looking for information in the internet requires only a click and an internet
connection, going to the library actually requires much more effort. One actually
needs to get out of his comfy bed and house to hail a cab or a taxi to get to the
library. If one has a car, he or she needs to drive a distance before reaching the
library. There are also situations where certain areas such as small towns have no
public library. One may need to travel to the next town where there is a library.
Hence, the internet makes up for the convenience that a library cannot offer.
Although there are many information on the internet can be used for
studies ,many lecturers and teachers do not encourage using them as their
authenticity cannot be guaranteed. This is where the library comes in because the
books that are found in the library are guaranteed to be true and credible while some
of the information found on the internet are contributed by unknown sources.
Students who are writing their research paper, they often look for information in the
library in the form of journals as the library has definitely more journals compared to
the internet. While the internet may have journals for student to look at, the sites
which contains these journals requires one to pay to see the journals.
31
Looking for a material which is suitable for your research or your study in a
library requires time and effort as well. Although the books in the library are
categorized together in sections, there are many books that are in that single section
which may comprise of many rows of bookshelves and these makes finding a
material which truly fits what you want is very hard and time consuming. On the
other hand, information that you want on the internet can be found easily with the
help of search engines such as Google or Yahoo as long as the correct keyword is
typed in the search box. All in all, its always up to the person whether he or she
wants to find information from the internet or library for academic work as both of
these places have all the information that one can find. Since both have their good
and bad sides, students should utilize these points to their advantage.
According to Neo (2010) The internet and the library, both considered to be a
big depository of information .Library can be defined as the 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. University
Libraries provide access to many periodical indexes through the Internet. Internet
access is available on all floors of the Libraries. Internet and the library both seems
to be serving the same purpose but as the time goes by and world moves to new
innovations and directions, the question arises is the latter going to replace the
former. This essay compares and contrasts the Internet and an Library, how they
share a common purpose and how they vary from each other while serving the
purpose.
32
Both the internet and an Library provides information on a wide array of topics
but it may be not be necessary that library in United states has the books or journals
about the History of Asian countries like china, India, Even if an American Library
does has the books and information on the Asian history it may not as exhaustive as
it would be in the libraries based in Asia itself. It is not possible to have the same set
of books and information in all the libraries. Not all the books available in the Library
of the Linden wood university would be same as available in the libraries of Delhi
University at India . Although noticeable works like the ones of Shakespeare would
be definitely on the shelves of both the libraries. But it’s not always necessary that
less known authors or journals will make to each library. While on the other hand
information available on internet is universal , the same information can be accessed
in all the computers worldwide . There is no regional version of internet just about
anyone and everyone can access the same information whether it is done with a
internet connection in India or in Americas.
On the contrary Internet is free and open to all, almost every information
available online is free to access and refer, one can take as many copies has he
wants of the content available on internet, provided he gives proper referencing and
adheres with the copy and intellectual rights, Although some websites ask for
membership to access the content and may even charge its user but that is mostly
with the commercial websites.

33
According to Oac (2016) Access to information is more relevant for academic
work in all higher institutions. The role of academic libraries is to provide accessible
information resources to the entire academic fraternity Libraries make electronic
sources of information available to users because e-learning is giving new
dimension in learning and hence affecting education in many ways.
According to Israel (2016) The revolution in the world of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) has shifted the content of libraries resources from
printed information to online information resources. Hence, the content of libraries is
not restricted to physical formats such as books, magazines or journals. Libraries
are now shifting from traditional printed resources to the use of electronic-driven
services.
According to Okazie (2016) Internet use a necessary condition for effective
utilization of library resources. However, the use of electronic resources does not
take the place of printed resources but facilitates it through access to large stock of
Library materials. Library use books and journals to distinguish if it is reliable and
most powerful search for students.
According to Supriya (2018) Library was the only source of information. Most
of people were totally dependent library for gaining knowledge. After the 20th
century there has been marked increase in internet usage. Some people consider
libraries to be unnecessary due to the availability of information on the Internet.
Others, however, believe that libraries can still play an important role in education. A
library is much more than a means of distribution of the information; it also has a
34
vital role in academic purpose. Library developed a wide range services to meet the
educational objectives of their parent institutions. School libraries clearly need to
support the curriculum, but they also collect books and other materials to encourage
reading and spirit of enquiring, as well as to meet the need of the teacher and
students. On the one hand, the Internet enables the users to obtain a wide range of
information regardless of their locations.
According to Alemna (2000) States that for centuries libraries have served as
repositories of information and knowledge that have provided the vital underpinnings
for socio- economic, political and cultural development in any civilization. Information
is a vital and an indispensable component of any academic environment. It makes
for effectiveness in any academic system. Both faculty and students need to use
information daily in their various academic endeavors. For decades, faculty and
students have actively used the library and its resources as their main information
source. Their relationship with cultural progress has been so interdependent that it is
needless to argue whether man’s cultural advancement merely produces libraries as
by product. We now live in the information age where access too many Internet
resources is just a few clicks away. The Internet is a technology, which has gained
more popularity in many countries across the world, is no exception. The Internet as
a medium of communication and source of information has enabled students,
researchers, business information seekers and information professionals to access
information to enhance their work and communicate effectively.
35
According to World Brain of H.D Well (1938) Along with many other aspects
of North America culture, Literary studies is being swept into the digital age. In
considering what this might mean, I examine in particular how the Internet, with its
many and protean conveniences for literature, is beginning to supplant the library,
that traditional bastion of the text. The prospects for literature are not necessarily
favorable. While libraries have been attempting to adapt to the Internet, the nature of
the digital medium and some of the rhetoric that has attended it invoke troubling
questions, raising the possibility that central features of literary studies may be in
danger of being disregarded or marginalized. The digitizing of literature affects how
we read and what we read, methods of study, the preservation of the archive, and
the forms taken by new writing, some of which is specifically designed to exploit the
electronic medium. In this paper I offer a sketch of the problems, possibilities, and
paradoxes that we face as literary scholars.
Developing an appropriate rhetoric to consider the digital age has, in itself,
presented a problem. The promise of the new medium has led to inflationary claims,
suggesting that the human species is about to burst from its chrysalis into an
information utopia. "The development of digitally controlled cognitive prostheses,"
says Pierre LCVY, is "transforming our intellectual capabilities as clearly as the
mutations of our genetic heritage." The totality of knowledge will soon become
available: it will constitute a knowledge space or cosmopedia, in which "the power of
disciplinary knowledge is dissolved" (xxiv, x). These claims echo arguments for the
mechanization of knowledge dating back to Vannevar Bush's both of which were to
be based on microfilm.
36
According to Kenemy (1962) Comparing the Library and Internet is to contrast
two opposed principles, or so it would seem: one fostering an ethic of preservation
and limited accessibility, the other an ethic of dissemination and abundance. It is
hardly surprising, then, that libraries have actively been extending their services to
the Internet to provide greater accessibility. In fact, a cursory examination of
discussions of the library over the last few decades reveals widespread assertions
that it suffers from two major problems, for which the Internet now appears a just-in-
time solution. The major libraries have become too big to navigate effectively and
the cost of print materials in the last decade has escalated far faster than increases
in budgets. Some forty years ago the expansion of libraries was held to militate
against their effective use.
The Chair of mathematics and astronomy at Dartmouth College, estimated
that Harvard Library would hold ten million volumes by 2000 (it currently has over
fourteen million). Such increases in size make it difficult to locate a single book on a
topic, let alone retrieve all the relevant information in a research area. Kemeny
argued that "our university libraries will be obsolete by A.D." Twenty years later
James Thompson, librarian of the University of Reading in England argued the same
point in The End of Libraries 1982. He claimed that libraries (as they existed then)
were already unusable and that to navigate a modem library effectively now required
several years of training.
Kemeny advocated a national research library operated by remote
technologies based on micro format tape: a user sitting at a terminal anywhere in the
37
United States would be able to dial up a view of a particular tape and download it to
a local tape for reading offline. Kemeny discusses a classification scheme that would
enable relevant documents to be retrieved (his examples are drawn from scientific
literature). In Toward Paperless Information Systems, published in 1978, F. W.
Lancaster outlined a model for searching and distributing information in electronic
form that would make the library obsolete. In comparing this proposal with a system
being developed for the CIA, which he helped design, Lancaster also pointed out the
importance of being able to personalize information: while a formal information
system was normative and liable to become static, a personal system would be
subjective and dynamic (34).This would make library work more effective for the
literary scholar if it could be implemented, but library development so far has been
based largely on older organizational systems that have done little beyond replacing
paper with electronic catalogs, databases, and (more recently) full texts online.
These offer only a partial and inadequate solution to the needs of the literary scholar
even full-text searching provides access only to words, not to concepts.
They still lack an effective, organized way to research the field of literary
scholarship provided in thousands of books and journal articles (and, now, Internet
sites), since the appropriate tools have yet to be developed.
According to USA Webmaster Nine (2019) The modern world is so fast that
people don’t even have the time to read a full news story in the morning newspaper.
As a working person, I carry my newspaper along with me every day when I start
from home for my office. I only have the time to read the headlines of the newspaper
38
during my travel hour from home to office. As I travel by a public vehicle, so I get just
enough time to read at least the headlines; but it’s not possible for those who travel
in their own vehicles, as they have to drive on their own. In such a fast moving era,
people almost have forgotten to read books. People prefer to read online journals
and fictions than to hold a bulky book in their hands. One factor that facilitates the
popularity of the Internet is its availability. The Internet facility is available almost in
every nook and corner of the world. Even if we are travelling to the distant villages in
our country, we would be getting the Internet facility. The availability of this facility on
our cell phones has made the path easier. Now people, who have an interest
in books, needn’t travel very far to reach the library, because the world of books is
present in their PC or cell phones. Despite the comfort provided by this
revolutionizing facility of the Internet, there are some people who still love to be
engaged in reading bulky books. It is so because; people sometime find it difficult to
search on the Internet. So they prefer to read books or journals available in the
library, to be on the safer side. Moreover, it’s altogether a different experience to
read a book sitting in the library.
Reading a book involves a lot of attention, so a library is the ideal place for
reading books and exploring the world. It’s a modern day trend that in most of the
educational institutes, books are replaced to a large extent by online materials
available on the Internet .Whenever children get some school projects, they first run
to their computers to get the information related to it.
39
There is genuinely no harm in doing so, but the authenticity of the details
provided on the Internet should be checked first, because many sites provide half or
even wrong information. The Internet helps us become well informed citizens,
knowledgeable about current events and updated with the latest controversies and
important trends. Though the Internet helps us become aware of what’s going on in
the world at a fast pace, the literary world is still better at helping us become aware
at the pace most suited to each of us. Reading books has less harmful effects on our
eye sight as compared to reading online at a computer. The computer constantly
releases harmful rays that badly impact the eyesight, especially of the children. But it
is not that the Internet only has a bad impact, but that it also does a host of goods for
us.
The Internet is a social platform where we can exchange our views, ideas or
thoughts to the world, as well as know about the world in a better manner. Both
Internet and books should go hand in hand so that the next generation enjoys a
better future.
According to Robin (2017) Said that reading books is the best way to learn
new vocabulary or what we called dictionary which is books. He used to study the
vocabulary as one of the example to collect data. This way your brain will absorb the
meanings of the words much better and also technology as said of the author that
for example gadget you can download thee video or apps to be more accustomed to
the sound and construction from a foreign language. So, both technology and books
are useful which can help students to gain knowledge and to express their skills in
40
their academic purpose. The author uses the language (techniques) learning
techniques as an example to have information about the comparison between
technology and books among students. It is clearly stated that both technology and
books is important for the students just like on how to pronounce the English word
which you can use technology to know the pronunciation and books like dictionary
for the meaning of the words.
Synthesis
The Review of Local Studies/Literature and Foreign Studies/Literature which
was gathered and collected from different sources to provide the guidance and
information pertaining and have relevance to the study.
This study is based in the broader field of information behavior. More
specifically in the context of information seeking behavior as define “ the purposive
seeking for information as a consequence of a need to satisfy some goal. In the
course of seeking, the individual may interact with manual information systems (such
as a newspaper or a library), or with computer-based systems (such as the World
Wide Web)”. The Comparative study on the use of the internet and the library as a
source of information focuses on how students interact with both manual and
computer based systems. It also investigated which system they prefer using and
the motivation to select one system to the other.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The quantitative method of research was used in this study. According to
Burn (2015) defined quantitative research as a formal, objective, systematic process
to describe and test relationships and examine cause and effect interactions among
variables. Since the presents study concerned the present status. it will give us an
opportunity to become a good student or researcher, a way to learn and catch up
more idea from both internet and books. The quantitative method of research was
appropriate method to use. The researcher chose quantitative research because this
method of research is a data that can be counted or expressed in a numerical way of
collecting information. It also tends itself to a statistical analysis and mathematical
computation and therefore is typically illustrated in chart or graphs.
The type of quantitative method that the researcher used is descriptive
research because it can utilize elements of both, often within the same study. The
term descriptive research refers to the type of research question, design, and data
analysis that will be applied to a given topic. Descriptive statistics tell what is, while
inferential statistics try to determine cause and effect. It can involve collections of
quantitative information that can be tabulated along a continuum in numerical form,
such as scores on a test or the number of times a person chooses to use a-certain
feature of a multimedia program, or it can describe categories of information such as
42
gender or patterns of interaction when using technology in a group situation., depicts,
and describes the data collection.
According to Mouton (2000) a descriptive survey design was used .A survey
is used to collect original data for describing a population too large to observe
directly. A survey obtains information from a sample of people by means of self-
report, that is, the people respond to a series of questions posed by the investigator.
In this study the information was collected through self-administered questionnaires
distributed personally to the subjects by the researcher. A descriptive survey was
selected because it provides an accurate portrayal or account of the characteristics,
for example behavior, opinions, abilities, beliefs, and knowledge of a particular
individual, situation or group.
According to Bhat (2009), systematic investigation of phenomena by
gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical or computational
techniques. Quantitative research gathers information from existing and potential
customers using sampling methods and sending out online surveys, online
polls, questionnaires, the results of which can be depicted in the form of numerical.
After careful understanding of these numbers to predict the future of a product or
service and make changes accordingly.
A survey and interview obtains information from a sample of people by means
of self-report, that is, the people respond to a series of questions posed by the
investigator. In this study the information was collected through self-administered
questionnaires distributed personally to the subjects by the researcher. A descriptive
43
survey was selected because it provides an accurate portrayal or account of the
characteristics, for example behavior, opinions, abilities, beliefs, and knowledge of a
particular individual, situation or group.
Moreover, this design was chosen to meet the objectives of the study, namely
to determine the knowledge and views of the Grade 12 students of St. Gregory
College of Valenzuela
Research Locale
The main focus of the study is on the school of St. Gregory College of
Valenzuela. The campus have library that serve the needs of the academic
community. Also, Faculty of Education which is located at the ground floor of the
building. Library plays a very important role in the delivery of information and
services to the St. Gregory College of Valenzuela. It has electronic database and
hence provides a wide range of reading materials which include newspapers,
journals, magazines, e-resources and books.
The respondents are Grade 12 Senior High School Students strands of ABM,
GAS, HUMSS, and STEM, for the researcher to firm and determine the comparative
study use of the internet and library as the source of information. The respondents
are chosen random to answer the survey questionnaire with 10 response
representative in each strands, because this study was too expensive to print more
than 10 so the researcher conducted it just to prevent expenses and to manage the
44
time of the researcher. This study is for Grade 12 Senior High School only, Junior
High School students are not involved in the research. They were the chosen
respondents who can answer the survey questionnaire and ask some information to
evaluate and elaborate the use of both internet and library for their academic
purposes. The researcher wanted to know their study habits, behavior, and attitudes
of using internet and library for their academic purposes.
Instrumentation
The researcher design an interview schedule is one of the data collection
instrument. The instrument used was a researcher completed questionnaire to
gather the needed data for this study about the internet and library. Grade 12
HUMSS, ABM 1, ABM 2, GAS 1, GAS 1, STEM are going to answer the
questionnaire, the drop of the questionnaire was drawn out base on the researchers
reading, previews studies, literature, Publishes and un publishes thesis that was
relevant to the study. In preparation of the instrument, the requirement in the
designing of good data collection instrument we’re considered. The next instrument
that the researcher uses in research design was survey to answer those questions
that are relevant to the problem.
For instances, statements describing the situation or issues pertaining was
tone down to accommodate the knowledge preparedness of the respondents. Open-
minded options were provided to accommodate to free formatted views related to
the topics or issues. The closed ended questions on the other hand, required
45
specific answers from respondents. Some of the questions were ranked, while in
others options were made available to respondents. In this way,
The instrument is authorized to obtain the valid responses of the students, by the
use of questionnaire and interview, the percentage of this study will be provided by
this formula In the end, to know the percentage of this study about internet and
library, the researcher name to used the statistical treatment to know the total
percentage from the target population.
Sampling and Sampling Techniques
Probability sample is used in this study. This method of sampling techniques,
utilizes some form of random selection. In order to have a random selection method,
they must set up some process or procedure that assures that the different units in
the population have equal probabilities of being chosen. Humans have long
practiced various forms of random selection, such as picking a name out of a hat, or
choosing the short straw. These days, people tends to use computers as the
mechanism for generating random numbers as the basis for random selection.
It is a sampling technique in which sample from a larger population are
chosen using a method based on the theory of probability. For a participant to be
considered as a probability sample, he/she must be selected using a random
selection. The most important requirement of probability sampling is that everyone in
your population has a known and an equal chance of getting selected. It sampling
uses statistical theory to select randomly, a small group of people (sample) from an
46
existing large population and then predict that all their responses together will match
the overall population.
The researcher use probability sample gives the best chance to create
a sample that is truly representative of the population. Researchers want to draw
conclusions that are valid for the whole study population, and should take care to
draw a sample in such a way that it is representative of that population. The
advantage of using probability sampling is the accuracy of the statistical methods
after the experiment. It can also be used to estimate the population parameters
since it is representative of the entire population. It is also a reliable method to
eliminate sampling bias.
According to Alreck (2001), state that, it is seldom necessary to sample more
than 10% of the population to obtain adequate confidence in your generalization. In
this study, the accessible population comprised all the grade 12 student at St.
Gregory College of Valenzuela strands of ABM, HUMMS, GAS, STEM. The
researcher chose grade 12 student as the respondents of the research study by
selecting them based on the position as a class officer in each room they belong.
which is all about the comparison between internet and library for their academic
purposes. The sample of population of this study is stood at students every strand. A
simple random procedure was use for selecting the participants in this study. It
obtained by choosing elementary units in search a way that each unit in the
population has an equal chance of being selected. A simple random sample is free
from sampling bias. However, using a random number table to choose the
47
elementary units can be cumbersome. If the sample is to be collected by a person
untrained in statistics, then instructions may be misinterpreted and selections may
be made improperly.
The technique was employ to ensure fairly equal representation of the
variables for the study. Participants were therefore sampled based on their
availability and willingness to complete the questionnaire.
The researcher use simple random techniques formula to know the
percentage of the Grade 12 students who use internet and library as they source of
information.

The result in Table 2.2 shows that 33.33 (2) of the respondents indicated that
the use of library is reliable. And a few of them says that library provides credible
reference to other books and its provide authentic source of information that relevant
and realistic information to students. This means that the majorities acknowledge the
important and uses of library.
The majority of Grade 12 Students in St. Gregory college of Valenzuela
indicate that they use the internet more that the library.
The result in table 3 below shows the survey in Grade 12 Student who uses
internet and library.
The top rated Internet services patronized the most respondents were
chatting and the World Wide Web. Most use the World Wide Web daily. However,
the use of net newsgroup multimedia streaming, video conferencing and rich site
53
summary was not popular respondents. According to Okazie (2016) Internet use a
necessary condition for effective utilization of library resources. However, the use of
electronic resources does not take the place of printed resources but facilitates it
through access to large stock of Library materials. Library use books and journals to
distinguish if it is reliable and most powerful search for students.

Chapter V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary of the study pointing out the important
findings with its conclusions and recommendations.
Summary
This study aims to create a comparative study on the preferred source of
information of Grade 12 students in St. Gregory College of Valenzuela. Whether
library and internet.
Specially, this study sought to answer the following questions:
b. Internet
2. What are the possible reasons of the students use this source of information?
This study applied Quantitative Research Design, which includes descriptive
methods in which two instruments are used and this are Survey and Interview to
gather data.
The following synthesizes the results and findings of the study:
55
b. Internet
Neo (2010), the internet and the library, both considered to be a big
depository of information .Library can be defined as the 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. University
Libraries provide access to many periodical indexes through the Internet. Internet
access is available on all floors of the Libraries. Some students uses internet so then,
they can easy access some information with it but in Libraries, Some students uses
it to be more specific and find it more reliable fo them.
2. What are the possible reasons of the students use this source of information?
Oac (2016). access to information is more relevant for academic work in all
higher institutions. The role of academic libraries is to provide accessible information
resources to the entire academic fraternity Libraries make electronic sources of
information available to users because e-learning is giving new dimension in
learning and hence affecting education in many ways.
According to Almahit (2015) Study is most essential part of a student’s life. So
internet helps students to find out the solution of their problems. So internet gives so
many benefits to students. They can use it for their career growth and get knowledge.
There are so many sites which are providing free lectures also. The students who
are not able to get study material in the specific location like rural areas they can
easily get It through online marketing systems.
56
Conclusion
This study conducted to compare Grade 12 Students Internet use and Library
use. It was based on the assumption that Grade 12 Students used the Internet more
than the library. The findings of the study indicate that students do not bypass the
library in satisfying their information need. They use both the library and the internet,
although the Internet is used more than the library and it is also the most preferred
source of information. Students also make use of sources such as the media,
lectures notes and interaction with their lecturer, Teachers, Parents and Friends
most library services are well patronized, while most Internet services are much
underutilized.
Recommendations
Based on the findings of the study and the conclusion formulated the
following recommendations are the following:
1. Use one formula to gathered data, therefore it enhance the researcher to
understand and to gather data in an easiest way.
To Future Researchers:
2. Add more respondents on your study to become more realistic and credible.
3. Focus on your topic specially when choosing an accurate one in terms of
adequate information and reliability of the study.
