Introduction:
In a learning environment, information plays an important and essential role in understanding any
academic matter. Students need information in order to learn their lesson, and as for the teachers to give
learnings to their students. In the past years, library have been one of the most effective tool for searching
an information and is well known for its traditional way of sourcing using books, journals, dictionaries and
etc. Although library is said to be time consuming than using internet, there’s still a lot of people who are
According to the study of Lippincott J. Library has become part of the campus life in the University
of Southern California’s Leavey Library that leaves a remarkable record with 1.4 million students who
visited their library. This shows how the traditional way of sourcing an information is being vital in giving
access and reliable resources in school purposes such as writing papers, assignments, activities, and research
papers. As Prince J. (2014) states that, Library collection is one of the legitimate source of information
because it is developed and maintained by the professionals and is said to be more reliable and higher
quality than online. Libraries have been adjusting their collections, services, and environments to the digital
world for at least 20 years. Even prior to ubiquitous use of the Internet, libraries were using technology for
access to scholarly databases, for circulation systems, and for online catalogs. However, internet replaced
In the modern world, internet have become very useful, specifically in the educational environment.
Internet was known for its good, easy and convenient access whether it is communication or learning
purposes. According to Almario R. (2015). Since people are now living in a much more modern world, and
time flies so fast, people don’t have time to read book so they preferred internet. The most common one is
students' dependence on Google or similar search engines for discovery of information resources rather
than consultation of library Web pages, catalogs, and databases as the main source of access. Mobile phones
and computers are also part of the students’ everyday lives, a tool which can access information using
internet in a quick and simplest way. In accordance with Essays, UK (2018), Internet 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 reason why internet is very popular than
libraries.
According to Whitmyre (2017), internet resources are more efficient than print resources. It allows
the students to gather information using different techniques and formats, such as videos and audio
recordings that may not be present in the library. However, there are also disadvantages of having internet
as a source of information. As stated in the Tennessee State University (2001), Internet doesn’t have quality
control nor organizer. Open source information on the internet is quite common and easy to get misinformed
information. Anyone with access to the internet can publish a site where some informations are incorrect.
Internet is not organized. There is no system that catalogs and organizes all resources in the internet.
Searching is only part of the internet and searches is not always relevant to your topic that leads to a waste
Libraries and digital information resources can play a critical role in the education of today's
students. The library can play a critical role in learning directly related to courses, such as writing a paper,
and processes related to lifelong learning. Libraries can provide collections, organized information, systems
that promote access, and in-person and virtual assistance to encourage students to pursue their education
beyond the classroom. And as well as the internet, internet can also play a critical role in emphasizing
access to information generally having facilities, software or support for student creation of new
information products.
The study aims to show the credibility of both internet and library of a way to get an information.
It will also give the teacher an idea of what source of information is the most effective in most cases such
as: which is most effective when time is crucial, which is the most reliable source of information, etc.. It
will also provide enough information on which source of information, library and internet, has the most
Is the internet is the preferred source of information? Or is it the library? This research will
determine which is the preferred source of information and will aim to answer this problems:
1. What are the positive and negative effects of using internet and library as a primary source of
information?
4. How does internet and library help the student to gain information or data in doing school works?
The researchers focused on how the STEM students prefer in gathering information. This academic
work targets to know the advantages and disadvantages of library and internet in their learning system. The
period of the study started from August 19th 2019 to September 2019. The respondents will be the Grade
The chosen respondents of this research sums up with the total locality of 100 students.
La Consolacion Library plays a significant role in the delivery of information to the University. It
has computer database therefore they provide an extensive scope of study materials such as books, journals,
magazines, newspapers and etc. Internet access is free and can be used by any students.
This study used to bear services of the information between the use of internet as a source of
information. It is expected to help enhancing the knowledge of Grade 12 Senior High School students of
La Consolacion University of the Philippines. Hence, it helps the students to collect data's needed in the
study/ies.
Benefiting the study are the various sectors as follows:
The students
It will help the students to collect information that is more reliable and accurate for their school stuffs
Also it will help the students to be aware and careful in sourcing some information in the internet and to
The teachers
It will help the teachers to have a good foundation to teach students reliably and accurately. It will also
help the teacher to be careful in collecting resources that is to be presented to their students.
It will help the next researchers to have a prior knowledge in understanding and determining good
preferences in terms of sourcing an information. Also it will serve as the basis of their related study.
