Are you still using books when finding some information for your research or for your assignment? School start now and students like my daughters have lots of reserch and assignments. And some students now are lazy to visit the library to search and used books they much prefer computers and internet. How about you guys and students out there which do you prefered net or books?

yup,but not of them are computer literate some of students are still not.reading books is their only way to find something.we glad that our kids has an access to use computer unlike those who have lack of opportunity.

I prefer to use the internet to search for things. It takes to long to look up things in books and it is more boring to look up in the information in a book.

Honestly, I don't go to the library since I became acquainted with Internet. I think the Internet is more convenient because you'll find a lot of resources on a certain topic, then it's so easy to collate them and print!! wallah! job's done! With library books, resources is so limited plus! it's time consuming looking for the right book and scanning through the pages, plus! writing them or photo copying all those pages and you end up encoding or summarizing what you've got, that's a hassle. I think students now would prefer the Internet over the library when it comes to research :).

I use both...but internets are becoming accessible and more practical...but there are still books that are very useful and both are very informative, one supplements the other. In class, I always ask my college students to surf the net in relation to the lessons...in fact we just started class, and already, we were using books and the internet.
