As a student, I enjoy surfing the internet for it can give a wide array of updated information while in Library eventhough it can give a lot of information, but some of the books are not updated. How do you feel about it?

I use only internet for searching and finding useful information that can help me with my school stuff. Basically you can find all information in the internet depending also in you're source.

I use both mediums because i believe that there is always something new to be found in each. I believe that both mediums balance each other - because not all publication get posted or uploaded in the internet and the internet is just a medium to scroll over a thousand of books in just a small time frame. Of course, when it comes to research books are more preferable since it is assumed and checked that the information being disseminated is reliable if not true.But intyernet is the best place for fast facts and other miscellaneous activities. Besides, knowing to use both mediums is always an advantage when doing different kinds of tasks.

I use both. I don't think the internet will ever take the place of books. There's something about holding a book in your hands and leafing through it, or going to bed with a good book, that the internet just can't do. Information is abundant on the internet, but not always truthful or right.

These days, using books have been outdated already. If I were to be chosen between using books and surfing the net. I'd rather surf the net because it lessens the difficulty of searching things that I need to research and by a single input of the keyword or the topic I need to look for, I immediately gain access to different sources all of which contains that topic compare to using books, where I will need to take one and look for the topic, and then take another book to search on the same topic.
