Library or Internet?

Compare and contrast libraries and the internet as the two major sources of information for use in academic written work

When searching for materials for an academic writing, most students will either to search through the internet or search through the library as the major source of information. What is the factor that affects the difference between searching through the library or the internet as the major source of information?

One of the factors is conveniences. It is much easier to search through the internet as it has the search engine which allows students to search for information easily. However there is the question for the reliability of the resource found in the internet. Searching from the library on the other hand, the resource is much more reliable compare to what is written in the internet. It may be harder to search compare to internet sources but the reliability in the resource is certain as they are written by researchers who had proof read the research report before had it publish.

In term of time factor, it will be much more efficient for the students who travel in and out of the campus in comparison to the students who stays in the campus. For example, if a student have to travel about five kilometre a day to campus, considering the jam factor and all, much time will be wasted compare to searching the information thru the internet which can be done at home.

Considering the environmental factor, students prefer to work in a much more comfortable environment. Most students will prefer to work from home as there is the most comfortable place for them. Instead of stuck themselves in the library the whole day, it will be much more comfortable to be at home and can enjoy the relaxing feeling of being at home. In some cases, students prefer to have a quiet environment to work which they cannot obtain in their house. For example, their family is having a party and the noise in distracting the concentration of the student.

Researching through internet or the libraries has its pros and cons however, this will depends on the student on how they view it. Both can be a great resource in writing an academic writing work or other research work.
