(2) At present, many schools and universities have been implementing internet-based learning, as it supplements
the conventional teaching methods. The internet provides a wide variety of references and information to
academics as well as scientific researchers. Students often turn to it to do their academic assignments and projects.
(3) However, research on Internet is very different from traditional library research, and the differences can cause
problems. The Internet is a tremendous resource, but it must be used carefully and critically. (4) According to a
2018 Academic Student e-book Experience Survey, conducted by LJ’s research department and sponsored by
EBSCO, when reading for pleasure, almost 74% of respondents said they preferred print books for leisure whereas,
45 % of respondents chose e-books rather than the printed versions, for research or assignments.
(5) When asked what e-book features make them their favourite for research, the respondents were clear. Having
page numbers to use in citations, topped the list (75%); followed by the ability to resize text to fit a device’s screen
(67%); the ability to bookmark pages, highlight text, or take notes for later reference (60%); downloading the entire
e-book (57%); and allowing content to be transferred between devices (43%) were the varied responses.
